rise
昂 centers on rising upward, whether physically lifting, emotionally swelling with pride, or becoming elevated in spirit or price.
昂 combines 日 (sun) with 卬, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of looking up or rising. The sun rising upward is a plausible semantic interpretation.
The sun 日 sits above 卬, which looks like a person kneeling and looking up. Picture the sun rising as someone gazes upward, lifting their spirits.
For コウ, imagine the sun rising over a calm cove: cove -> コウ, and the sun lifts above the water.
