Unicode Version 17.0
㉐
U+3250 "㉐" Partnership Sign is a symbol enclosed within a circled ideograph, specifically derived from the Japanese "kabu" or "kabushiki" character, which denotes a share or stock. It was originally included in the Unicode standard to represent a partnership or joint-stock company, often appearing in Japanese commercial and legal contexts such as business documents or signage to indicate a cooperative enterprise. The sign visually consists of the character "株" (meaning "stock" or "share") placed inside a circle, emphasizing its function as a compact, conventional marker for corporate associations.
