hegemony, supremacy, leadership, champion
覇 centers on dominant control or influence: hegemony, supremacy, or leadership, especially in a competitive context. The champion sense is a natural extension of being the top leader.
覇 is the modern simplified form of 霸. The older form 霸 combines 雨 (rain) with 革 (leather) and 月 (moon), possibly suggesting a leader's authority covering all under heaven. The modern form replaces 雨 with 覀, a common simplification.
The top 覀 looks like a crown or covering, and the bottom 䩗 suggests leather and moon. Picture a champion wearing a leather crown under the moon, ruling with supremacy.
For ハ, imagine a hegemon laughing 'Ha!' as they dominate: Ha -> ハ, and the champion stands supreme.
