I know that this character means wide because of the shape- it kind of looks like half a door, which has to be WIDE enough to fit someone through it

This character is wide itself, its empty as well. When I think of a wide I think of it having space and being stretched out.

This character looks empty and anything “WIDE” can fit inside it.

It looks like the overhang radical, and it is WIDE open because there is nothing to cover.

Since there is nothing underneath the character, it looks like an empty overhang radical indicating that you can let your imagination run WIDE and put whatever you want underneath it.

This character means wide because imagine that you are standing under a wide roof that provides shelter and space. Also, another tip, this is the first character of a province in South China: [char] dong. Where [char]zhou and Shenzhen are, next to Hong Kong.

imagine a corner or your room, and the open space shows how WIDE the space is.

The way I remember this character is by its shape, I just think of the outside of a character like it’s a cover.
