About
扬 is a simplified phonosemantic compound derived from 揚. The hand radical 扌 (shǒu) indicates actions performed with the hands, while 𠃓 (yáng) represents the sound, replacing the traditional phonetic 昜, which originally depicted the sun rising and suggested upward motion. The character means to raise, hoist, flutter, or scatter.
