to reflect
☀️🎬 映 = 日 sun + 央 center; sunlight bouncing off, shining and projected
The 日 sun radical drives the meaning: light that reflects or shines. It also means to project an image, as in 电影 (dianying, film) literally electric-shadows cast onto a screen.
映 — sun 日 + center 央 (phonetic)
映 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The sun radical 日 gives the meaning—light, shining, reflection—while 央 (yāng) supplies the sound, shifted to yìng. It originally described sunlight shining on something, and now broadly means 'reflect,' 'shine upon,' or 'project' (as in films).
