Why does 报道 look like this?
报 (bào): The left side is 'hand' (扌), suggesting an action or giving, and the right side originally depicted a person kneeling, implying submission or reporting to a superior. 道 (dào): Combines 'movement/walking' (辶) and 'head' (首), representing a path, way, or a formal channel of speech. Together, they represent the 'path of reporting' or delivering news!
