The kanji 頂 is a pictographic-semantic compound. The left side is 页 (often simplified to 丆), and is a phonetic component, that also indicates "head". The right side is 丁 which originally portrayed a nail. The association originally was of something on top of the head being nailed or pinned. This evolved to the meaning of "top" or "peak."
