U+3201 "㈁" Parenthesized Hangul Nieun Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈁
U+3201 "㈁" Parenthesized Hangul Nieun is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) compatibility ideograph designed specifically for the Korean writing system, representing the consonant "nieun" (ㄴ) enclosed in parentheses. It is part of a larger set of parenthesized Hangul letters, originating from the KS X 1001 standard for encoding Korean text, and is typically used in legacy environments to form bracketed syllables or denote phonetic elements in annotations. While it resembles modern Hangul, its primary purpose is to provide a distinct, enclosed form for historical or compatibility use, ensuring correct display in older systems that require such precomposed characters.
