The kanji 楼 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), which means it's a character that combines a semantic component (meaning) with a phonetic component (sound). The left side is 木 (ki - tree/wood), which provides a hint about the meaning, and the right side is 婁 (rō - a phonetic component, indicating the sound). The combination of the components suggests a structure made of wood that rises upwards, like a tower or building. The character has evolved over time, taking on various forms before settling into its present shape.
