Unicode Version 17.0

U+3193 "㆓" Ideographic Annotation Two Mark is a specific symbol from the Kanbun annotation block, which was traditionally used in East Asian texts, particularly in Japanese and classical Chinese, to indicate the reading order of Chinese characters for grammatical clarity. This particular mark, resembling a stylized number "two," directs the reader to interpret or pronounce two characters in a sequence that may differ from their written order, often appearing as a small notation in the margin or between lines of text to facilitate correct comprehension of classical Chinese syntax when read in Japanese.
