符 is formed from the bamboo radical ⺮ on the top and the character 付 on the bottom. ⺮ represents bamboo, which was used in ancient times to make slips or tallies. 付 means to attach, give, or add something. Together, they show marks or information attached to bamboo slips. From this structure, 符 came to mean sign, mark, symbol, or written token.
符 shows marks attached to bamboo slips, meaning sign or symbol.
Imagine bamboo slips (⺮) with important marks written or attached to them (付). Those marks used as proof, signs, or symbols are 符.
