扱 is phono-semantic: the radical 扌 marks “hand; action,” while 及 provides the sound and the idea of “reach/extend a hand.” Together they point to taking something in hand and managing it. Nuance: 扱う is general “handle/deal with,” while 操作 (operate) or 操る (to control, often skillfully) imply more technical control.
