lass, girl, Miss, daughter
嬢 centers on a young female person, especially one addressed with respect or affection: a girl, a lass, a daughter, or a title like Miss.
嬢 combines 女 (woman) with 㐮, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to nurturing or assisting, giving the idea of a young woman or daughter.
A woman 女 beside the complex 㐮 shape: picture a young girl dressed in elaborate traditional robes, looking like a proper young lady or Miss.
For ジョウ, imagine a young girl named Jo (ジョウ) who is always called 'Miss Jo' by everyone. Jo -> ジョウ, and she is the lass of the house.
