The kanji 発 発 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字; けいせいもじ). The semantic component is 癶, which depicts two feet moving apart, implying the action of departure or beginning. The phonetic component is 㚇 (also read as はつ, or "hatsu"), indicating the sound and suggesting the meaning of emission or start. Over time, the form evolved to the current shape of 発 発, incorporating both the meaning and the sound elements.
