Yes, 丁 (dīng) can be used to refer to people in certain contexts. In ancient Chinese, 丁 (dīng) was used to refer to the common people or the working class, as opposed to the ruling class. It can also refer to a person engaged in manual labor or a laborer. In this sense, it is similar to the English word "peasant" or "commoner."

丁 (dīng) is a formal word. It is used in ancient Chinese to refer to a man or population, and it is also the fourth of the 10 heavenly Stems. It is also used to refer to a person engaged in manual work. It is not used in informal contexts.

The most common context in which 丁 (dīng) is used is to refer to a person engaged in manual work. This is because 丁 is a character that is used to represent the fourth of the ten heavenly stems, which is associated with the peasant class in ancient Chinese society. This is why it is often used to refer to people who are engaged in manual labor or manual work. For example: 人丁 (population, family number).
