The kanji 他 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字; けいせいもじ). It combines the phonetic component 也 (ya), which suggests the sound, with the semantic component 人 (hito), meaning "person." The character initially represented "another person." Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass "other" or "else" in general.
