About
The character 扬 is a phono-semantic compound, with the hand radical 扌 (shǒu) on the left indicating it relates to hand actions. Its traditional form 揚 uses the component 昜 (yáng) on the right, which originally depicted the sun rising and serves as the phonetic element, also suggesting upward movement. The simplified form replaces 昜 with the element 𠃓. The character fundamentally means to raise, hoist, flutter, or scatter, combining the hand radical's manual action with the upward sense from its phonetic component.
