About
帮 is the simplified form of the traditional character 幫, a phono-semantic compound. The semantic component 巾 (cloth) indicates the original meaning "side of a shoe", while 邦 (bāng) provides the sound. The upper part of 幫 was drastically simplified to create the modern 帮. Although it once referred to the reinforced edge of a shoe, the character is now a phonetic loan used primarily to mean "help" or "assist", and as a noun it can also denote a gang or faction.
