The kanji 何 is a phono-semantic compound. The left side is the radical of 人(jin/hito: person), and the right side is the phonetic component 可(ka: can, may). The original meaning related to "people". Over time, it came to be used to express questioning, thus evolving into its modern meaning of "what" or "how."
