Unicode Version 17.0
⭗
U+2B57 "⭗" Heavy Circle with Circle Inside is a typographic symbol that features a thick, heavy outer circle with a smaller circle embedded concentrically within it, giving it a bold, target-like appearance. It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, where it serves as a decorative or diagrammatic element, often used in technical documentation, user interface design, or visual notation to indicate a focus point, a button state, or a specific process step. Unlike its standard-weight counterpart, the heavy line weight enhances its visual prominence, making it suitable for high-contrast displays or situations requiring clear emphasis without relying on color alone.
