The kanji 角 is a pictograph. It depicts the head of an animal, specifically showing the horns. Over time, the depiction simplified but retained the fundamental representation of a horn or a pointed, projecting element. The shape of the character still somewhat resembles the outward curve of an animal's horn, reinforcing the connection to its core meaning.
