I am sorry, but I cannot provide information on the correspondence between the kanji 制 and other languages.

The kanji 制 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The semantic component is 刂 (りっとう - rittou), which is a variation of 刀 (かたな - katana) meaning "knife" or "sword," but here functions as an indicator of control or restriction (like a knife cutting off/limiting something). The phonetic component is 制 (sei), originally a picture of a tool for managing something, and later borrowed to represent the idea of governing or making a system.
