Etymology
嶁 combines 山 (mountain) with 婁, which likely contributes the sound. The character was created to write the name of a specific mountain peak.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 山 means mountain, and the right side 婁 looks like a complex structure. Picture a mountain peak with a distinctive layered shape that matches the intricate 婁 component.
Reading mnemonic
For ル, imagine a mountain peak so remote that only a few hikers reach it: the sound 'ru' echoes the idea of a rare, secluded place.
