U+24AA "⒪" Parenthesized Latin Small Letter O Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⒪
U+24AA "⒪" Parenthesized Latin Small Letter O is a typographic symbol that belongs to the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, designed for use in lists, diagrams, or notations where a lowercase letter "o" needs to be visually enclosed within parentheses. It is often employed as a stylistic or functional element in formatting contexts, such as representing an item in a sequence or a label in mathematical or technical documentation. This character is distinct from the sequence of an opening parenthesis, a regular lowercase "o", and a closing parenthesis, as it is encoded as a single, unified glyph for consistent rendering across different systems and fonts.
