The kanji 到 is a pictophonetic character, combining a semantic component (meaning related) and a phonetic component (sound related). The original form of 到 depicts an arrow 矢 (ya, meaning arrow) arriving at a destination. The right side of the character is the component "刀" (tō, meaning sword) which represents the sound. Over time, the form has evolved to its current shape. The character illustrates the idea of an arrow, representing an arrival at the target.
