厚

thick
deep or profound; kind; generous; rich or strong in flavor; to favor; to stress
Cliff (厂) + sun (日) + child (子) = deep shelter and generosity
The cliff (厂) shelters both sun (日) and child (子), evoking layered protection — something deep, substantial, and generous in spirit. Thickness here is not just physical but moral: a person of 厚 character gives warmth and shelter abundantly.
