宀 Roof (Kangxi 40)

Rarer in this ranking, but still part of the 2,608-character published set.

More common than 踵 (Heel), less common than 椿 (Camellia).

Under a roof on top, a head and knife sit below — under the roof, a head and knife remain after everyone else has left, the widow alone with her memories and a blade.

寡 is rank 2207 of 2,608 in published Japanese.
