Why does 到 look like this?
This character consists of 至 (zhì), which means 'to arrive' or 'to reach' (acting as the sound/meaning component), and the radical 刂 (dāo), which represents a knife. Together, they create the idea of reaching a specific point or destination, like a sharp point hitting its mark!
