wide, broad, spacious
広 centers on physical or metaphorical extent: something wide, broad, or spacious. It describes large open areas and the quality of being expansive.
広 is the modern simplified form of 廣. The older form combines 广 (building) with 黄, which likely contributed the sound and helped express spaciousness. The modern 厶 inside is a simplification.
The outer 广 suggests a building, and the inner 厶 looks like a wide-open space inside. Picture a spacious hall with high ceilings.
For コウ, imagine a wide-open field where you can call out 'coo!' and hear it echo: coo -> コウ, filling the broad space.
