Koohii Story 1 I see this kanji as a pictograph of a two story boat seen from the front. The glass canopy is the body of the boat. The drop on top is the chimney. The horizontal line is the ceiling/floor between the the 1st/2nd floor. Finally, the two drops in the middle are the lights on the decks.
Koohii Story 2 Cinnabar (丹) colored boat, the extra drop signifying that the paint hasn´t dried yet. The stick represents the oars.
