Unicode Version 17.0

U+3036 "〶" Circled Postal Mark is a symbol used primarily in East Asian typography to represent a postal or mail-related service, often appearing on stamps, postal marks, or maps to denote a post office location.

Its design ensures it remains visually distinct, supporting its function in contexts where precise identification of postal facilities or services is needed.
