The kanji 輝輝 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). It combines the semantic component 光(hikari), meaning "light" or "brightness," with the phonetic component 軍(gun). 光 gives the character its meaning of brightness and shining. 軍originally contributed to the sound and may have also implied a sense of "gathering" or "grouping," suggesting a concentration or display of light. The combination creates a character that visually and semantically represents the concept of shining or glittering.
