When 'code value' refers to the importance of a principle, directly translating as 'コード値' will sound like a programming term. Use context-appropriate phrases like '規範の価値' or '倫理規定の価値' instead.
'値' (あたい) is used for numerical, quantitative, or assigned values (e.g., variable values, code points). '価値' (かち) is used for abstract worth, importance, or merit. Choose based on whether the value is a concrete data point or an abstract quality.
