person 亻 (13a) + also 也 (8) = he 他

As explained, your chosen particular person is substituting for the abstract “person” here. We’re calling this person “harry” as we don’t know who you’ve chosen — luckily this doesn’t stop us drawing him as he’s in a gorilla costume!

At the fancy dress party, Harry also came as a gorilla, but (unlike the others) he had a proper costume. / The giant arrived dressed as Tarzan.

When “person” (Character 12) is used as the left-hand side of a composite character it is compressed into this form.
