U+323E "㈾" Parenthesized Ideograph Resource Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㈾
U+323E "㈾" Parenthesized Ideograph Resource is part of the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block and represents the Chinese character for "resource" or "assets" enclosed within parentheses. This specific ideograph corresponds to the character "資" (zī), meaning capital, funds, or resources, and is used in East Asian text to denote a resource in a compact, stylized format. It was originally included in Unicode for compatibility with earlier character encoding standards such as CNS 11643 and Japanese industrial standards, where it appeared in parentheses for use in vertical text or specific formatting contexts like lists or annotations.
