to restore
🔧 修 (repair) + 复 (restore) = repair-restore, i.e. fix
修 means to repair or cultivate; 复 means to return or restore. Together they form a verb meaning to restore something to working order — used for fixing buildings, relationships, and software bugs alike.
修 — 亻 person + 攸 (phonetic) + 彡 hair/decoration
修 combines 攸 (a phonetic component originally showing a person being washed) with 彡, which depicts flowing hair or ornamental strokes. The 彡 element suggests grooming, polishing, or adorning, giving 修 its core meaning of cultivating, repairing, or refining oneself or things.
