Etymology
塸 combines 土 (earth) with 區, which likely contributes sound. The exact historical development is uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side is earth 土, and the right side is 區. Since the meaning is unclear, picture a mysterious mound of earth with a hidden compartment.
Reading mnemonic
For オウ, imagine an old owl perched on the earth mound: owl -> オウ, and the owl guards the mysterious earth.
