Why does 采访 look like this?
采 (cǎi): represents 'gathering' or 'collecting' (originally a hand picking leaves from a tree). 访 (fǎng): combines 'speech' (讠) and 'square/direction' (方), suggesting going to a place to ask questions. Together, they mean to 'gather news' or 'collect information through questioning.'
