As in, how those symbols came to match with the meaning? Like, 日 is pretty easy since it's based on the sun, according to my old professor. She showed us how it evolved from a circle with a dot in it to the current Kanji. Is there an online resource that will do similar? I just heard an explanation about 強い and I can't tell if it was a mnemonic device, or actual history.
