Tips

memory
Two everyday compounds carry it: 心扉 (the 'door' of the heart, used for opening up emotionally) and 扉页 (the title page that opens a book). Picture a door swinging open in both.

Components

radical
户 hù
door; household
Top-left 户 is the single-leaf door radical (originally a picture of one door panel). It is the meaning core: 扉 is literally a door leaf.
phonetic
非 fēi
not; wrong
Lower-right 非 supplies the exact sound fēi. Its two mirror-image halves also faintly suggest a pair of door panels, but its job here is the phonetic.
