U+3260 "㉠" Circled Hangul Kiyeok Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㉠
U+3260 "㉠" Circled Hangul Kiyeok is a typographic glyph that represents the initial consonant of the Korean alphabet, specifically the letter "ㄱ" (giyeok), enclosed within a circle. It belongs to the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" block and is primarily used in historical or decorative contexts, such as in older Korean signage, labels, or list markers, where it functions as a stylized ordinal symbol rather than a standard phonetic character. This character is distinct from its non-circled counterpart and provides a closed, visually compact form that was once commonly seen in East Asian typography for numbering or naming items in a sequence.
