The kanji 倣 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side of the character, 彳, is a radical representing "walking" or "movement." It also appears in 行 and 往. The right side, 方, provides the phonetic component, suggesting the sound "hou" or "bou". The combination conveys the idea of following a path or a direction, thus, "to imitate" or "to emulate." The character's formation reflects the idea of "walking" or "moving" in the same "direction" as a model.
