抵 is the gesture of pushing against. The hand radical on the left tells you it's something you do with your body; the right side means root, base, the ground you brace from. The mini-game above sends a crimson tide pressing down at you. Mash to push back. Reach the top of the screen four times and the kanji is yours.

Common compounds: 抵抗 (teikō, resistance), 抵触 (teishoku, conflict, infringement).
