U+3272 "㉲" Circled Hangul Mieum A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㉲
U+3272 "㉲" Circled Hangul Mieum A is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph, representing the Korean syllable "마" (ma), which is composed of the Hangul consonant Mieum (ㅁ) and vowel A (ㅏ), enclosed within a circle. This character belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, and it was designed for compatibility with earlier East Asian character encoding standards, such as Korean KS X 1001. It is used in legacy systems or specific contexts where a circled form is needed to represent the syllable in listings, indexes, or decorative text, but it is generally not employed in modern standard Korean writing, where unenclosed Hangul is preferred.
