👍 搞 (do/handle) + 好 (well) = handle it well
搞 is a versatile verb meaning to do, make, or handle, and 好 means good or well. Together they form a resultative compound: do-something-and-end-up-good, i.e. succeed at a task or get it right.
搞 — hand radical 扌 + 高 (gāo, tall)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The hand radical 扌on the left signals an action done with the hands, while 高 on the right gives the sound (gāo → gǎo). Originally meaning to do or make by hand, it broadened in modern Chinese to a general verb meaning to do, get, or carry out.
好 — woman 女 + child 子
好 is an associative compound showing a woman 女 beside a child 子, depicting a mother with her baby. From this image of maternal affection it came to mean 'good, fine, pleasing.' The reading hǎo means 'good'; read hào it means 'to like.'
