好 is a compound ideograph made of 女 (woman) on the left and 子 (child) on the right, traditionally suggesting that a woman with a child represents something good or beautiful. It is one of the most common characters in Mandarin, used as an adjective meaning good, as a complement after verbs to show completion (看完, finished reading), and in greetings like 你好 (hello).
