the left part of this character is the hand radical, while the right part looks like a (checkered) waller, to represent giving away money for an apartment!

The left part of this character looks like a sword, while the right part looks like a shield. Looking at them simultaneously, they form a ‘security’ in the form of a knight. When combined with the character for gold, you can interpret them altogether as offering security in the form of gold, or money.

A hand radical is on the left and a ‘fly swatter’ is on the right. Together, a hand is using the fly swatter to provide security.

The left is a hand and the right is ‘precious’ meaning to give or deposit (in a bank) something to keep it safe.
