The kanji 窓 is a pictographic character. It is a combination of two parts: the radical 穴 (ana) meaning "hole" or "opening" (representing the frame) and the sound component ム, which evolved from the shape of a person kneeling within the opening, or a shape resembling the window frame. The combination of these components visually suggests the concept of a window as an opening or hole in a structure.
