U+6C11 "民" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
民
U+6C11 "民" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that represents a central concept in East Asian cultures, meaning "people," "nation," "subject," or "citizen." It is composed of the radical for "person" or "human" (人) simplified inside an enclosure, and its etymology traces back to ancient Chinese oracle bone script where it originally depicted an eye being pierced, metaphorically referring to a subjugated or blinded commoner. Widely used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, this character appears in key terms such as "mínzhǔ" (democracy) and "rénmín" (the people).
