U+326F "㉯" Circled Hangul Nieun A Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+326F "㉯" Circled Hangul Nieun A is a precomposed CJK Compatibility Ideograph representing the Korean syllable "na" (나), enclosed within a circle for use in East Asian typographic contexts such as lists, calendars, or educational materials. It belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, where it functions as a visual marker similar to numbered or lettered lists for Korean text. The character combines the Hangul consonant "nieun" (ㄴ) and vowel "a" (ㅏ) to form a complete syllable, with the circle serving to emphasize it for ordered or decorative purposes. Unlike modern Unicode standards that recommend composable sequences using combining characters, this code point was encoded for backward compatibility with older character sets like KS X 1001.
