Etymology

値 combines 亻 (person) with 直, which likely contributes both sound and the idea of directness or correctness, suggesting a person setting a correct price or value.

Meaning mnemonic

A person 亻 standing beside 直 (straight/direct) suggests setting a straight, fair price. Think of a person directly stating the value of an item.

Reading mnemonic

For チ, imagine a person pricing a cheap item: cheap -> チ, and the person 亻 sets the value.
