I see this character every day because we study at nyu Shanghai. The two lines are above the horizontal line, it is a visualization of the above in the form of a character.
I remember this character by comparing it with 下, which means under. The dash under the base is pointing down for 下 and for the dash is pointing up for 上。
I always remember this from comparing it with 下，or under. 下 looks like it is holding something up because it is under, whereas 上 has a base because it sits above something
It reminds me mondrian paintings with the lines
The character looks like a tree with a branch above the ground
It almost looks like “S” as in Shanghai if you write it quickly and convert it to an English letter

There is a short heng dash drawn on top of a longer one which seems like the the base meaning above.

The only other character stroke is above the base on the vertical stroke.
Shanghai means above water, so it’s the first part that means above.
