About
The traditional character "價" is composed of the semantic component "亻", indicating a person, and the phonetic and semantic component "賈", which is associated with trading and commerce, thus conveying the meaning of "price" or "value" in a transactional context. Historically, the character "价" existed separately, formed from "亻" and "介", and originally denoted a messenger or an intermediary. Over time, "价" was adopted as the simplified graphical representation for "價", leading it to assume the primary meaning of "price" while its earlier sense fell out of common use.
