Character Story & Explanation
Detective's note: Character 椝 (guī) is a nonstandard simplified variant of 槼, meaning 'rule' or 'regulation'. It appears in historical contexts as a shorthand form. Rarely used today, it shares its core meaning with 规 (guī), the standard modern character for 'rule'. Its wooden radical suggests an origin in inscribed wooden tablets used for standards.
