尚
shàng
still
surname Shang; yet; to value; to esteem
small rays (⺌) + boundary (冂) + mouth (口) = to esteem, still standing above
The small strokes (⺌) at the top suggest something radiating upward or outward, while the enclosure (冂) and mouth (口) below evoke a voice carrying beyond boundaries. Together they hint at elevation and esteem — something still standing above the rest.
