the meaning of

Meaning portrade through (my made up story)
Look at this Kanji and see that it is just a pair of square lens glasses. It is a bit easier to see if you look at it up side down(red image).

Now these days you dont usually see such old looking square glasses. The reason one might buy glasses like these is because they dont have enough Yen(Japanese currency) to buy nice Round lens glasses.

Think of that to recall the meaning of this Kanji is Yen and Round
