U+3274 "㉴" Circled Hangul Sios A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㉴
U+3274 "㉴" Circled Hangul Sios A is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the Korean syllable "사" (sa), which begins with the consonant Sios (ㅅ) and the vowel A (ㅏ), enclosed within a circle. This character is part of a set of circled Hangul syllables included in Unicode primarily for compatibility with older East Asian character encoding standards, such as KS X 1001, and is used in contexts like legacy text, decorative typography, or numbering systems where a circled representation of the syllable is required. It should be noted that for most modern digital text, the regular, non-circled Hangul syllable (사) and a separate combining circle are preferred.
