The kanji 皆 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a component suggesting "person," derived from the radical 人 (nin, hito), which means "person." The right side is 皆 (kai) which is originally a sound component, related to the meaning. Over time, it came to represent "all," indicating a gathering of people. It's essentially the person radical combined with a phonetic element, expressing the idea of "all" or "everyone."
