U+86EE "蛮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+86EE "蛮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "barbarian" or "rough" in English, often used historically to refer to non-Han ethnic groups in southern China. Its etymology combines the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) with the phonetic component "亦" (yi), reflecting ancient perceptions of foreign peoples as uncivilized. In modern usage, the character appears in words like "野蛮" (yě mán, meaning "savage") and "蛮力" (mán lì, meaning "brute force"), carrying connotations of wildness or stubbornness. The character is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which standardizes Han characters for digital communication across East Asian languages.
