The kanji 救救 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound. The left side is 攴 (bokuzukuri), and the right side is 求 (kyuu, meaning "to seek" or "to request"). The left side "攴" is a component indicating "to tap" or "to strike", which later came to represent the meaning of an action or to do something. The right side "求" originally depicted hands reaching out, which means "to seek". Thus, the kanji 救救 combines the meanings of "to strike or act" with "to seek or ask" to convey the sense of "to seek to save" or "to rescue".
