Why does 便宜 look like this?
便 (Left-right: 人 'person' + 更 'change/again') - suggests a person acting in a way that is 'convenient' or 'fit'. 宜 (Top-bottom: 宀 'roof' + 且 'altar/vessel') - represents something 'appropriate' or 'fitting' under a roof. Together, they imply something that is 'conveniently affordable'.
