Red Packet Story :

The last character “Yu”, as portrayed on this red packet, of the Chinese idiom “Nian Nian You Yu” is a homophone for two characters, one "Yu" meaning ‘fish’ and the other "Yu" ‘surplus’.

According to Wikipedia, homophones (literally ‘same sound’) are usually defined as words that share the same pronunciation, regardless of how they are spelled.
