Etymology
儐 combines 亻 (person) with 賓, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of a guest or visitor. The character thus represents a person who attends to guests.
Meaning mnemonic
A person 亻 stands beside 賓, a character associated with guests. Picture a host personally welcoming and entertaining visitors.
Reading mnemonic
For ヒン, imagine a host offering a hint to guests about where to sit: hint -> ヒン, as the person 亻 guides the guest 賓.
