法fǎ

Modern simplified form (簡體) of 法 retains the same shape as the traditional character, combining the water radical 氵 with the component 去. The water radical evokes the idea of uniform flow, while 去 (to go) suggests the impartiality of law, reflecting the ancient concept of a standard that applies to all. Used in words like 法律 (law) and 方法 (method), 法 serves as a key component in many legal and procedural terms. --- Mode
