The kanji 儒 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji - phono-semantic compound), meaning it combines a semantic component (meaning) and a phonetic component (sound). The semantic component is 人 (nin, hito - person), which is on the left side of the character. This suggests the meaning relates to people or humans. The phonetic component is 需 (ju - to need, to require), which contributes to the sound of the character. The character originally depicted scholars or intellectuals who were considered to be in need of learning and wisdom, thus connecting the meaning of "scholar" or "Confucian scholar."
