Top: var. of buttock seen from the side 尸, below: opening 口 as anus, in the sense of 'behind' (Originates in the custom that the empress followed behind the emperor.)
This radical has actually the meaning: corpse 尸. But due to its use in tail 尾, urine 尿, or flatulence 屁, it is considered to generally mean 'buttocks'.
This is a small square. If it is bigger: 囗, it is an enclosure.
