    the lower radical means money, so it looks like someone on top of wealth ie born on wealth. And an honorable person in many societies is the definition of someone born with riches.

    I see this character almost as a little person wearing a fancy tuxedo, and that meaning is complimented by the component on the bottom meaning “shell/money”

    The character looks like a little human, a very confident human. He or she is so confident because of the owned money.

    I remember this character because it looks like a knight wearing a helmet and body armor. Knights are honorable, and polite. Nobles who wear armor live a expensive and lavish lifestyle.
