nun
尼 centers on a Buddhist nun, a woman who has taken religious vows.
尼 is a simplified form of 尼, originally combining 尸 (body) and 匕 (spoon), but the exact historical development is uncertain. It was later adopted as a phonetic loan for the Sanskrit 'bhikṣuṇī' (nun).
The outer shape 尸 looks like a kneeling figure, and inside 匕 resembles a spoon or a simple tool. Imagine a nun kneeling in prayer, holding a simple alms bowl.
For ニ, picture a nun kneeling in a niche, praying quietly: niche -> ニ.
