Etymology
冨 is a variant form of 富. The character combines 宀 (roof) with 畐 (a vessel full of something), suggesting abundance under a roof. In 冨, the roof component is simplified to 冖.
Meaning mnemonic
Under the roof 冖, a full vessel 畐 sits, representing wealth and abundance stored inside the house.
Reading mnemonic
For フ, imagine a full (フ) vessel under the roof, overflowing with riches: the sound 'fu' as in 'full' cues フ.
