我 is the standard first person singular pronoun in Mandarin, meaning 'I' or 'me'. The character contains the radical 戈 (gē, a type of ancient weapon) on the right, while the left component is a stylized form of 手 (hand). Historically it depicted a weapon but was later borrowed to represent the pronoun. To say 'we' or 'us', add the plural marker 们, forming 我们 (wǒmen).
