U+3232 "㈲" Parenthesized Ideograph Have Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈲
U+3232 "㈲" Parenthesized Ideograph Have is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) symbol that represents the ideograph for "have" or "exist" enclosed within parentheses. This character is part of the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" block, which was designed to provide compatibility with legacy character sets used in East Asian typography, particularly for formatting purposes in vertical text and lists. In practical usage, it often appears in Japanese contexts as a rubric or marker, such as in forms or catalogs, to indicate availability, possession, or inclusion of an item. The parentheses distinguish it from the plain ideograph, emphasizing its role as a functional or symbolic label rather than part of continuous text.
