The kanji 好 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is the radical 女 (おんな, onna - woman) and the right side is 子 (こ, ko - child). This combination represents a woman and a child, which historically was seen as a favorable or good thing to have. Over time, the meaning broadened to encompass the general concept of "good" or "liking".
