good-looking, name of a place
邲 is a rare kanji with two distinct uses: describing something as good-looking, and serving as a historical place name. The meanings do not share one clear conceptual center.
邲 combines 必 (sound component) with ⻏ (city/walled settlement). The character likely originated as a place name, with the 'good-looking' sense possibly derived from the phonetic or from a separate usage.
The left side 必 looks like a heart with a slash, suggesting something essential or striking. The right side ⻏ is a city wall. Picture a striking, good-looking city wall that makes the place memorable.
For ヒツ, imagine a good-looking person wearing a stylish hits (ヒツ) of clothing, standing by the city wall. The 'hits' sound cues ヒツ.
