The kanji 費 （ひ） is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It combines two elements: ⚫︎ 貝 (kai), meaning "shell" or "currency," representing the original meaning of wealth and value. ⚫︎ 弗 (futsu), which provides the phonetic component, suggesting the sound and also contributing to the overall meaning. The character evolved to represent the concept of using or spending currency, hence its meaning of "expense" or "cost."
