U+2482 "⒂" Parenthesized Number Fifteen Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⒂
U+2482 "⒂" Parenthesized Number Fifteen is a typographic symbol that represents the number 15 enclosed within parentheses, part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block. It is primarily used in contexts such as lists, outlines, or numbering sequences where a decorative or compact representation is needed, often seen in older typesetting or legacy systems like CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text processing. As a precomposed character, it was included in Unicode for compatibility with earlier character encodings and standards, allowing easy display without requiring separate rendering of the number and parentheses.
