Why does 包含 look like this?
This word is a combination of two characters: '包' (bāo) and '含' (hán). '包' features the 'wrapping' radical (勹), suggesting an enclosure or bundle. '含' combines 'now' (今) and 'mouth' (口), painting a picture of holding something inside one's mouth. Together, they beautifully represent the idea of wrapping something up and keeping it inside.
