The kanji 倖 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It is composed of two parts: the radical 忄/㣺/心, meaning "heart" or "mind," and the phonetic component 幸, which represents the sound and contributes to the meaning. The combination of the "heart" radical and the sound/meaning of 幸 (happiness/good fortune) suggests a state of the heart being filled with happiness or experiencing good luck. This suggests a person feeling "lucky", or "fortunate".
