filial piety, child's respect
孝 centers on the duty and respect a child owes to parents and elders: filial piety and a child's respectful devotion.
孝 combines 耂 (an old person) and 子 (a child), depicting a child supporting or following an elder, which expresses filial piety.
An old person 耂 leans on a child 子 below: the child supports the elder, showing filial respect.
For コウ, imagine a child showing filial piety by bringing a coat to an elder: coat -> コウ, and the child's respectful action warms the old person.
