The kanji 燃燃 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines two elements: ⚫︎ The semantic component is 火 (火), meaning "fire" ⚫︎ The phonetic component is 然 (ぜん, zen), which is used here for its sound (though also related to the meaning of "thus" or "like that" in its original usage). The formation of 燃燃 visually represents fire (火) interacting with something, leading to burning. The inclusion of the phonetic element 然 provided the sound.
