The kanji ［舶］ is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). It is composed of two parts: the radical "舟" (ふね, fune), which means "boat" or "ship," and the phonetic component "白" (しろ, shiro), which indicates the sound "haku." This formation visually combines the element of a ship, 舟, with a sound element, 白, indicating the reading and indirectly, the idea of something large and moving on water.
