Unicode Version 17.0
蹒
U+8E52 "蹒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to limp" or "to stagger," often appearing in the compound word "蹒跚" (pánshān), which describes a stumbling or hobbling gait, such as that of an elderly person or a toddler learning to walk. It is composed of the "foot" radical 足 (zú) on the left side, suggesting movement or walking, and the phonetic component 㒼 (mán) on the right side. This character falls under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is used in both Chinese and Korean (Korean: 반; ban) contexts, though it is less common in Japanese. Its structure and meaning reflect a vivid depiction of unsteady movement, making it a descriptive term in literary and everyday language.
