treasure, wealth, valuables
宝 centers on something precious kept safe: treasure, wealth, or valuables, often stored or protected.
宝 is the modern simplified form of 寶. The older form combines 宀 (roof) with 玉 (jade) and 缶 (pottery), suggesting valuables stored under a roof. The modern form keeps the roof and jade, simplifying the rest.
Under a roof 宀, a precious jewel 玉 is kept safe. That hidden jewel is the treasure.
For ホウ, imagine a treasure chest that you hope to find: hope -> ホウ, and inside is the jewel 玉 under the roof 宀.
