Etymology
郶 combines 咅 and 邑, but the exact historical development and original meaning are uncertain. It may be a variant or regional character.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 咅 looks like a mouth 口 under a standing shape 立, and the right side 邑 suggests a city or region. Picture a place name where a local dialect is spoken, but the exact meaning is unclear.
Reading mnemonic
For ブ, imagine a boo sound coming from the mouth 口 in 咅, as if someone is booing a place name: boo -> ブ.
