U+24DC "ⓜ" Circled Latin Small Letter M Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ⓜ
U+24DC "ⓜ" Circled Latin Small Letter M is a typographic symbol that consists of the lowercase letter "m" enclosed within a circle, part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block. It is commonly used in visual contexts such as user interface design, signage, or coded reference systems to denote the letter "M" in a stylized, compact form. While not traditionally employed in standard written text, the character serves specialized roles in diagrams, lists, or as a placeholder in character maps, and it also reflects the broader set of circled Latin letters that were included in Unicode for compatibility with older encoding standards and graphical applications.
