Etymology
晠 combines 日 (sun) with 成, but the exact historical development is uncertain. It may have been intended to express brightness or completion related to the sun, but this is speculative.
Meaning mnemonic
The sun 日 beside 成 suggests something becoming bright or complete, but since the meaning is unclear, picture a rare character where the sun is trying to become something—its meaning is still forming.
Reading mnemonic
For セイ, imagine the sun saying its own name: 'Say' (セイ) as it tries to become bright. The sun's voice cues the reading.
