The kanji 追追 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is a component representing movement related to "walking" or "going." The right side is 音 (on), the original shape of which appears to have referred to a "bird with a short tail" or "a small bird". The combination suggests the action of a bird chasing after something or someone. This character's formation visually emphasizes the act of pursuing with the foot, combining the element of movement and the intention of following or chasing.
