About
Originally combining 口 (mouth) and 日 (sun), 昌 depicted a morning call to rouse people at sunrise, giving it the original meaning "call loudly", a sense now carried by 唱. The character itself is a phonetic loan that has long been written with two 日 stacked vertically, conveying brightness and, by extension, prosperity and flourishing. It has no separate traditional form and also functions as a common surname.
