U+3276 "㉶" Circled Hangul Cieuc A Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3276 "㉶" Circled Hangul Cieuc A is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the Hangul syllable "cing" (the Korean consonant "cieuc" combined with the vowel "a") enclosed in a circle, and it belongs to the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" block. This character was primarily intended for compatibility with older East Asian character sets, where such circled forms were used in contexts like typographic lists, calendars, or marking systems, often to denote an item, option, or sequence. While its modern usage is rare, it remains a functional part of the Unicode standard for preserving legacy text, specifically encoding a Korean syllable that would otherwise be formed by combining a base Hangul character with a combining circle.
