Law / Regulation / Rule / Rhythm


  • 法律ほうりつ — law
  • 規律きりつ — discipline
  • 音律おんりつ — musical scale
  • 律儀りちぎ — honesty / integrity

The left radical 彳 suggests action or movement (as in 行く), and the right side 聿 gives the sound. Together they symbolize the idea of formal or structured movement—laws, codes, and ordered rhythm.
