The kanji 浜 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It is composed of two parts: ⚫︎ The radical 氵 (さんずい - sansui) on the left side, which is a variant of 水 (mizu) meaning "water." This component provides the semantic clue, indicating that the character relates to something associated with water. ⚫︎ The right side is 𣥍 (音 - on), which is simplified to 𫝿. This component originally was a phonetic component, giving the kanji its sound, ヒン (hin). Together, the components suggest "a place near the water," thus, a beach. Over time, the form of this character has evolved to what it is today.
