Vita:居

Parts

居 1063 reside
- ⼫ * flag
- 古 16 old
  - 十 10 ten (needle, cross)
  - 口 11 mouth

reside , to keep it distinct from "dwell", think of a "residence". It could be a hotel or an old people's home. I have one called "old flag residence", and at the front there is a flag, that is bent at the top as if it's just old and bent and tired after all these years...

Usage in other kanji

居 1063 reside
- 据 1064 set
