The kanji 掲 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The semantic component is the radical 手 (て, te), meaning "hand," which indicates the action of doing something with the hand. The phonetic component is 曷 (ketsu, kachi), which provides the sound. The combination of these components suggests the act of using one's hand to display or post something. The development reflects a gradual change from pictographic representations of the action of posting to the standardized form we see today.
