Unicode Version 17.0
ⓡ
U+24E1 "ⓡ" Circled Latin Small Letter R is a typographic symbol that represents the lowercase letter "r" enclosed within a circle, and it belongs to the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, which was introduced in Unicode version 1.1. This character is commonly used in design, typography, and notation systems to denote a circled label or marker, such as in diagrams, maps, or instructional materials where individual items need to be identified or indexed within a sequence. It can also appear in older or stylized text as an alternative to the simple letter "r" for emphasis or decorative purposes. While not as frequently encountered as some other enclosed characters, it remains a useful glyph for specialized formatting and symbolic representation.
