poverty, poor
貧 centers on a lack of material resources: being poor or in poverty. The idea is consistently about scarcity and need.
貧 combines 分 (divide, separate) and 貝 (shell, money), suggesting the idea of dividing wealth until little remains, leading to poverty.
Picture dividing (分) your money (貝) among too many things until you have almost nothing left. That's poverty.
For ヒン, imagine a poor person holding a nearly empty tin can: tin -> ヒン, and the can is almost empty because of poverty.
