U+3204 "㈄" Parenthesized Hangul Mieum Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈄
U+3204 "㈄" Parenthesized Hangul Mieum is a CJK compatibility ideograph used in East Asian typography to represent the Korean consonant "mieum," equivalent to the letter "ㅁ," enclosed within parentheses. This character belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block and was encoded specifically for compatibility with legacy character sets, allowing it to serve as a single typographic unit in contexts such as old computer systems or printed references where parenthesized Hangul syllables or initial consonants were needed. Its primary function today remains as a historical or specialized glyph, particularly in representing Korean phonetics or annotations within formatted text.
