Meaning: public, official
Components: 八 (eight) or katakana ハ, and 厶 (private) or katakana ム.
My Hack: “Ham for everyone!” OK, it doesn’t really mean “ham,” but it does look like ハム, so that makes it easy. Imagine a picnic in a public park with some political official offering free ham to everyone. (I specifically think of a park because 公園 is a common kanji compound for this character.)
