About
价 is the simplified character for 價. It is a phono-semantic compound character that uses "亻" (person) as its semantic radical, indicating a relation to people, and "賈" as its phonetic component. The character "賈" contains the "貝" (shell) radical, which refers to currency and trade. Its original meaning refers to the price of goods negotiated by people in the market, which later extended to the abstract concept of value, as well as valence in chemistry. The simplified character retains "亻" as the semantic radical but replaces the complex phonetic component "賈" with "介", which shares the same pronunciation but has fewer strokes.
