U+320F "㈏" Parenthesized Hangul Nieun A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈏
U+320F "㈏" Parenthesized Hangul Nieun A is a CJK Compatibility Ideograph that represents the Korean syllable “나” (romanized as "na") enclosed within parentheses, specifically combining the initial consonant “ㄴ” (nieun) with the vowel “ㅏ” (a). This character is part of a set of parenthesized Hangul syllables designed for compatibility with earlier East Asian character encodings and is commonly used in legacy text, such as in lists or annotated Korean documents, though it is not typically employed in modern plain-text writing. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that older digital text can be accurately represented without loss of formatting or meaning.
