U+7406 "理" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

理

U+7406 "理" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the core meanings of "principle," "reason," "truth," or "order," and is often used to denote the inherent logic or pattern underlying natural and social phenomena. It appears in foundational philosophical concepts such as "li" in Neo-Confucianism, signifying the rational structure of the universe, and is commonly found in words like "道理" (dào lǐ, meaning reason or moral principle) and "管理" (guǎn lǐ, meaning to manage or administer). With a rich etymological history, the character combines the radical for jade or gem (王, originally 玉) suggesting something precious or intrinsically beautiful, with the phonetic component 里 (lǐ, village or inside), together conveying an abstract notion of discerning and organizing the essential order of things.
