Why does 跑 look like this?
It consists of the 'foot' radical (⻊/足) on the left, which suggests movement or action involving your legs, and the 'package' character (包) on the right, which acts as a phonetic component to help with the pronunciation. Together, they show the image of feet moving quickly!
