Why does 满意 look like this?
满 (mǎn) consists of the water radical (氵) and a sprout/fullness component (两/艹), depicting water filling a vessel to the brim. 意 (yì) combines sound (音) and heart (心), representing a thought or intent formed in the mind. Together, they depict one's heart being as full as a vessel.
