The kanji 倫 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), which means it's a character that combines a semantic component (meaning) with a phonetic component (sound). The left side is a 人 (hito/person), which provides the meaning related to people or humanity. The right side is 侖 (rin), which is the phonetic component, indicating the pronunciation. Together, these components convey the idea of human relationships and ethical behavior within those relationships. 侖 originally depicted a bundle of scrolls, which metaphorically represented order or principles. The combination, therefore, implies order and principles among people.
