U+3263 "㉣" Circled Hangul Rieul Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3263 "㉣" Circled Hangul Rieul is a specific encoded glyph that represents the Korean consonant "rieul" (equivalent to the Roman letter R or L in the Hangul alphabet) enclosed within a circle. It belongs to the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" Unicode block, which was designed to provide compatibility with East Asian text standards for items like telephone directories, television captions, and other formatted lists. The circled form is used primarily in older Korean telecommunication systems and media to denote a numbered or categorized item, functioning similarly to a lettered list marker. While its usage has declined with modern digital systems, it remains an important part of the Unicode standard for preserving legacy data and ensuring proper rendering in historical or specialized Korean contexts.
