How to Write 仑 (lún) — Meaning “Logical; orderly.”

Imagine a person (人) using a spoon (the bottom part) to neatly stack items. This visual of someone creating order with a spoon can help you remember that 仑 means logical or orderly.

Write the top 人 in two strokes (left-falling then right-falling), then a left-falling stroke, and finish with a vertical hook that curves rightwards. A common mistake is to break the bottom into two separate strokes instead of one continuous hook.

人 is a standalone character meaning person with only two strokes, while 亻 is the left-side radical form also meaning person. 仑 has four strokes and includes a bottom hook, giving it a different shape and meaning of orderly, not person.

仑 is not common alone but appears in names like 昆仑山 (Kunlun Mountains) and scientific terms like 库仑 (coulomb, a unit of electric charge). It also has a classical meaning of order, but is rarely used in everyday speech.

Common words containing 仑 include: 昆仑山 (kūn lún shān) — Kunlun Mountains.; 库仑 (kù lún) — Coulomb; 仑仓 (lún cāng) — Granary..
