Tips

usage
寓 runs two ways: a place to live (公寓, apartment) and the idea of placing meaning inside something (寓言, fable; 寓意, implied moral). The link: something else 'lodges' inside it.

Components

radical
宀 mián
roof; house
The roof radical 宀 marks a building or dwelling, fitting the 'residence / to lodge' core sense of 寓.
phonetic
禺 yú
a kind of monkey (old)
禺 under the roof supplies the sound, close to yù; it carries no meaning here and is purely phonetic.
