About
The character 登 is a compound ideogram that combines 癶 (bō), two outward-pointing feet signifying a stepping action, and 豆 (dòu), which in this case represents a stone platform (not a bean). The image is of feet stepping onto the platform to board a vehicle, yielding the primary sense of ascending or mounting to a higher place. From this concrete upward movement, the character acquired extended abstract meanings related to official recording: entering data into a register, publishing an announcement in a newspaper, or noting down an accomplishment.
