Etymology
虙 combines the tiger-head enclosure 虍 with 必 inside, but the exact historical development and original meaning are uncertain.
Meaning mnemonic
The tiger-head enclosure 虍 surrounds 必 (certainly), but without a clear meaning, picture a tiger hiding something it must protect—though the real meaning is unknown.
Reading mnemonic
For フク, imagine a tiger in a hooded cloak (フク) hiding inside the enclosure: fuku -> フク.
