Why does 办事 look like this?
办 (bàn) consists of 力 (strength/effort) between two dots representing drops of sweat, showing the effort needed to handle matters. 事 (shì) depicts a hand holding a brush or tool, representing the work or business one manages. Together, it's about putting in the effort to get things done!
