Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 巴里 for how it sounds, Bālǐ, close to Barry. On its own, 里 means inside.
Barry is written 巴里, 2 characters: 巴 (4 strokes), 里 (7 strokes). Each is drawn stroke by stroke on this page, in the order you write it.
By sound, with characters picked for how they are said: Michael is 迈克尔 (Màikè’ěr). Newspapers, subtitles and books use one usual form for each common name.
