This character is used in two very high-frequency words: "you are welcome" (どう致しまして) and the honorific form of onegaishimasu (γŠι‘˜γ„θ‡΄γ—γΎγ™; γŠγ­γŒγ„γ„γŸγ—γΎγ™). Can't you just picture this ridiculously polite S&M picture? A businessman, who DOTH the bidding of his taskmistress, is climaxing and yelling out "γŠι‘˜γ„θ‡΄γ—γΎγ™" while she whips and says "どう致しまして". (This kanji also means "to bring about" and "do humbly", which is perfect for this image).
