This character has a meaning of Upright, True, Exact, Straight, Formal, etc. It is used in a host of Japanese names in its kanji transcription "Masa." It is pronounced "Zheng" in Mandarin, and while not a Chinese surname, it figures in many given names, as well as reign titles such as Zhengde and Yongzheng. Regards, Bill H
