U+89C4 "规" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+89C4 "规" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rule," "regulation," "compass," or "to plan," and it is widely used in both modern and classical written Chinese as well as in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja. This character is composed of the radical "见" (jiàn), meaning "see" or "view," combined with the component "夫" (fū), which originally represented a man or husband, together suggesting the act of observing or setting a standard. In contemporary contexts, "规" appears in common words such as "规则" (guīzé) for "rules," "规定" (guīdìng) for "stipulation," and "规范" (guīfàn) for "standard" or "norm," reflecting its foundational role in concepts of order, measurement, and governance across East Asian languages.
