🥇 位 = person 亻 + stand 立: the spot where a person stands, their rank
Add 位 after a number to give a ranking: 1位 (いちい) is 1st place and 3位 (さんい) is 3rd place. The kanji pairs the person radical 亻 with 立 (stand), so it means the position a person holds.
位 — person radical 亻 + stand 立
位 combines the person radical 亻 with 立 (to stand), originally depicting a person standing in their proper place at court. It came to mean 'position, rank, or place,' and is now also used as a polite measure word for people.
