fact, reality, understand, appreciate
諒 centers on grasping the truth of a situation: understanding facts, appreciating reality, and acknowledging what is genuinely the case.
諒 combines 言 (speech, words) with 京, which likely contributes the sound. The character suggests using words to clarify or confirm the truth, leading to meanings of understanding and reality.
Words (言) spoken in the capital (京) carry weight and must be based on fact. Imagine a messenger in the capital whose words reveal the true reality, helping everyone understand and appreciate the situation.
For リョウ, picture a wise person named Ryo who always speaks the truth. Ryo's words (言) in the capital (京) make the facts clear: Ryo -> リョウ.
