phoenix
鵬 centers on a mythical giant bird, often associated with the phoenix in Japanese usage. It evokes a legendary creature of immense size and power.
鵬 combines 朋 (which may contribute a phonetic element) with 鳥 (bird), forming a character for a legendary giant bird. The exact historical development is uncertain, but the bird component clearly marks it as a mythical creature.
A pair of moons (朋) beside a bird (鳥) suggests a creature so large it spans the sky like twin moons. This is the giant mythical bird 鵬.
For ホウ, imagine the giant bird letting out a deep, resonant 'hoo' sound as it soars: hoo -> ホウ.
