Etymology

侞 combines the person radical 亻 with 如, which likely contributes sound. The exact historical development and original meaning are uncertain.

Meaning mnemonic

A person 亻 beside 如, a shape associated with likeness or similarity. Without a clear meaning, picture a person trying to resemble something, but the exact idea is unclear.

Reading mnemonic

For ジョ, imagine a person named Joe standing beside the 如 component: Joe -> ジョ.
