The kanji 佳 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is a radical called 亻 (ninben, or 人, meaning "person"). The right side is 圭, which is the phonetic component, and gives the character its sound. The original meaning of 圭 might have been associated with a type of jade tablet, and the combination of the two parts likely evolved to suggest "a beautiful person" or "something of high quality".
