U+3212 "㈒" Parenthesized Hangul Mieum A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈒
U+3212 "㈒" Parenthesized Hangul Mieum A is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph used in East Asian typography to represent the Korean Hangul syllable "mieum a" (마) enclosed in parentheses. It belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, and was included in Unicode primarily for compatibility with legacy character sets and older text formats, where such parenthesized syllables were used for labeling, numbering, or list items. While its formal Unicode name references the Hangul letter "mieum" and vowel "a," the character is not typically used in modern Korean writing, as the same effect can be achieved with standard parentheses and individual Hangul characters.
