The Chinese character 账 (zhàng) for "account" or "bill" is composed of two parts: the radical 贝 (bèi) and the phonetic component 张 (zhāng). The radical 贝 originally represented a cowrie shell, which was used as a form of currency in ancient China. This radical is often used in characters related to money or finance, such as 价 (jià, "price") and 贵 (guì, "expensive"). The phonetic component 张 (zhāng) is a pictograph of a bow and arrow, and it is used to represent the sound "zhàng". The combination of these two components creates the character 账 (zhàng), which represents the concept of "account" or "bill".
