Can 何 (하) mean "how"?

 ANSWER: Yes, the Chinese character 何 (하) can mean "how," but it can also mean "who," what," "where," "when," and "why," which is why Koreans refer to journalism's "6 Ws' rule," or "5 Ws and 1 H rule," as 육하원칙 (六何原則), which literally translates as "the six (六) 'Ha's' (何) principle or rule (原則)".
