U+3202 "㈂" Parenthesized Hangul Tikeut Unicode Character
U+3202 "㈂" Parenthesized Hangul Tikeut is a symbol that represents the Korean consonant "Tikeut" (equivalent to the letter "ㄷ" in Hangul, romanized as "d" or "t") enclosed within parentheses, forming part of a larger set of parenthesized Hangul characters used for compatibility with East Asian text encodings, particularly in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) contexts. It is encoded in the Unicode block "CJK Compatibility" and was included primarily for legacy support, as it was used in older character sets like KS X 1001 for vertical text or plain text formatting where parentheses serve as visual markers for phonetic or linguistic notation. While rarely used in modern digital writing, the character facilitates accurate representation of historical or specialized Korean language documentation within the Unicode standard.
