U+2475 "⑵" Parenthesized Digit Two Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⑵
U+2475 "⑵" Parenthesized Digit Two is a typographic symbol that represents the digit 2 enclosed within parentheses, commonly used in formatted lists, legal documents, or sequential numbering systems as an alternative to standard numbers or bullet points. It belongs to the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, which includes various circled, parenthesized, and other enclosed forms of letters and digits for compatibility with East Asian standards and legacy character sets. This character is typically rendered as a single glyph and is distinct from combining sequences, making it useful for maintaining consistent formatting in plain text where the parentheses and number are meant to appear as a unified unit.
