Today’s #kanji is 候 is listed under its semantic element of #にんべん(亻). Its phonetic element is 矦, which I have never seen used in the Japanese language.

候

Meaning: to visit, to peep into something, a sign, etc.
Reading: コウ、そうろう

測候(ソッコウ): a meteorological observation
兆候(チョウコウ): a sign, an indication, an omen
