The kanji 友友 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a simplified form of the character for "hand" 又 (mata/yu), which symbolizes mutual support or working together. The right side is 又 again, and it emphasizes the idea of two hands working together to show mutual relationship. Thus, 友友 originally depicted two hands helping each other, developing into the meaning of "friend" or "to be friends."
