U+246E "⑮" Circled Number Fifteen Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+246E "⑮" Circled Number Fifteen is part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, designed as a single character for use in lists, diagrams, and typographic contexts where a visually distinct numerical marker is needed, often as a bullet point or index term. It represents the number fifteen enclosed within a full circle, allowing for standardized rendering across fonts and platforms without relying on manual formatting or paired parentheses. While relatively rare in modern text compared to simpler numbering systems, this character remains relevant in specialized documentation, academic outlines, and legacy encoding for East Asian or Western scripts that require consistent enclosed numerals.
