on kanji

There's a character that has a little rectangle box on the bottom and a triangle on the top. It looks like a house to me. I see it many places. Its kind of like this
会
but the retangle on the bottom is more rectangle-ish. Maybe they are the same character?
I'm just curious if anyone knows. Thank you!

Hi,

your description sounds as if you're searching for the kanji 合, I guess. Could this possibly fit?

食　means food.

Hello. Don't know how much this helps, but me, I've sometimes been confused by these, who look similar, and some are even pronunced the same ("a")!

今 "ima" - now
会う "au" - meet
合う "au" - fit, coincide
谷 "tani" - valley
