The kanji 晴 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). It combines the "sun" radical (日, hi, meaning sun) with the phonetic element 青 (せい, sei, meaning blue or green, originally representing a plant's growth). The "sun" indicates the semantic (meaning) component - related to the sun and weather, and 青 provides the phonetic component (sound). The overall meaning evolved to represent a sunny or clear sky.
