How it’s built

Simplified form of 這. The character is based on the original meaning "to meet", which is unrelated to the modern meaning.

辶

meaning

walk; move — 辶 is a component form of 辵.

文

simplified

writing; language — Simplified from the 言 component in the traditional character 這. Used since 文 has fewer strokes while having a similar meaning and sound as 言.
