seemingly

彿 is composed of 彳 (step) and 弗 (no). 彳 is a pictograph of a road and represents a person’s actions or conduct, while 弗 depicts two wooden posts tightly bound with ropes and carries the meaning of correcting or straightening. Therefore, 彿 conveys the idea of a person who has reformed. After a person reforms, their appearance remains the same, yet their character differs from before. From this, 彿 extended to the meaning of resemblance or similarity.
