The kanji 縫縫 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is the radical 糸 (糸, ito), meaning "thread" or "silk". The right side is the phonetic component 逢 (hou), which conveys a sound related to the action of meeting or coming together. Therefore, the character combines the thread (糸) with an element related to meeting or joining (逢), visually and conceptually representing the act of stitching or sewing things together with thread.
