How it works
The character '均' (jūn) is a formal, written adverb used to express 'all' or 'without exception.' It is often used in legal, academic, or professional contexts to indicate that a specific condition applies to every member of a group. Additionally, it can function as an adverb meaning 'equally' or 'evenly.'

Tip
When you see '均' followed by a number or a range, it often implies an average or a consistent state across different entities.
