U+6CD5 "法" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
法
U+6CD5 "法" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character commonly translated as "law," "method," or "way," and it carries deep philosophical and legal significance in East Asian languages. Composed of the radical for water (氵) and a phonetic component (去), its original meaning related to a "model" or "standard," as water flows according to natural principles. In modern usage, it is central to terms like "fǎlǜ" (法律) for law, "fāngfǎ" (方法) for method, and "fǎguó" (法国) for France. The character also appears in Buddhist contexts, such as "fǎlún" (法轮) meaning Dharma wheel, and in the concept of "Fǎ" (法) in Chinese philosophy, representing a normative principle or cosmic order.
