U+3213 "㈓" Parenthesized Hangul Pieup A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈓
U+3213 "㈓" Parenthesized Hangul Pieup A is a specific CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph used in East Asian typography, representing the Hangul syllable "pieup" (ㅍ) followed by the vowel "a" (ㅏ), all enclosed within parentheses. This character is part of a larger set of parenthesized Hangul syllables that were originally encoded for compatibility with older legacy character sets, particularly for use in Korean text processing environments where such precomposed forms were necessary. While it is rarely seen in modern digital writing, it may appear in historical documents or specialized applications that require exact reproduction of older formatting conventions.
