Unicode Version 17.0
㈑
U+3211 "㈑" Parenthesized Hangul Rieul A is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph used primarily in Korean typography. It represents the Hangul syllable “라” (pronounced "ra") enclosed within parentheses, where “리을” (rieul) denotes the consonant “ㄹ” (r/l) and “아” (a) indicates the vowel. This character was historically employed in legacy Korean text systems for purposes such as annotation, list formatting, or phonetic notation, and it is part of the larger set of parenthesized Hangul syllables found in the CJK Compatibility block of Unicode, distinct from modern standard encoding practices.
