日

Story

Open the window, new day.

Picture two halves of a 24-hr period: Day & Night.

Primitive

Used as a primitive, this kanji can mean sun or day or a tongue wagging in the mouth. This latter meaning, incidentally, derives from an old character outside the standard list meaning something like “sayeth” and written almost exactly the same, except that the stroke in the middle does not touch the right side (曰).
