brave heraldic beast
豼 centers on a brave heraldic beast, a mythical creature symbolizing courage and used in heraldry.
豼 combines the beast radical 豸 with 比, which likely contributes the sound. The character is used for a specific mythical heraldic beast, but its exact historical development is uncertain.
The left side 豸 suggests a beast, and the right side 比 (compare) can be seen as two beasts standing side by side, like a brave heraldic creature on a coat of arms.
For ヒ, imagine the brave beast letting out a mighty 'hee' roar: hee -> ヒ, and the sound echoes like a heraldic call.
