射

Ideogram is not a phono-semantic compound.

Oracle bone script (甲骨文 jiǎgǔwén):

Depicted a bow with an arrow nocked, visually showing the act of drawing a bow to shoot.

Bronze inscriptions (金文 jinwen):

Added the component 又 (우, “hand”) to indicate that a hand is pulling the bowstring.

Small seal script (小篆):

The bow-arrow form was distorted and reinterpreted as 身 (신, “body”), and the hand 又 turned into 寸 (촌, “span/hand measure”).

This mistaken evolution produced the form that remains in use today.

The hanja 射 has multiple meanings:

“to shoot, to fire” (쏘다) – e.g., shooting arrows;

“to emit, to radiate” (방출하다) – like rays of light or energy;

“to hit a target” (맞히다).

Also used as the name of official ranks, in musical terminology, and with the meaning “to dislike.”
