U+3195 "㆕" Ideographic Annotation Four Mark Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3195 "㆕" Ideographic Annotation Four Mark is a small but distinct symbol used in specific East Asian textual contexts, primarily within traditional Chinese and Japanese annotation systems. This character represents the numeral four, often employed as a notation or correction mark in scholarly manuscripts, dictionaries, or pedagogical materials to indicate the fourth item in a series, similar to the Western use of numbers in margin glosses. Its design is a compact, stylized version of the Chinese character for four (四), enclosed or rendered in a simplified form to save space while maintaining clear readability among other annotation marks. While not a common typographic element in everyday writing, it serves a functional role in specialized historical or linguistic documentation.
