What each kanji means
Righteousness, affirmation — the classical 'this is so'. Kore and Ze readings, rare and scholarly, plant firm conviction; director Hirokazu Kore-eda (是枝) carries it.
Clothing or robes — evoking silk, elegance and care. Popular in gentle feminine names like Yui (結衣, 'tied robes'), one of Japan's top girls' names of the past two decades.
To emerge, rise — the 出 of 日の出 (sunrise) and 出世 (rising in the world). Izuru and De readings push forth: talent that will out.
Meaning 'only one; unique', this character declares a child irreplaceable. Yui (唯) alone is a popular girls' name, prized for both its meaning and its clean single-character look.
