U+3279 "㉹" Circled Hangul Thieuth A Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3279 "㉹" Circled Hangul Thieuth A is a CJK compatibility ideograph used primarily in East Asian typography and labeling systems, representing the initial consonant "Thieuth" (a Korean jamo) combined with the vowel "A" within a circled enclosure. This character belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block and was encoded for compatibility with pre-existing character sets and standards, where such circled symbols were commonly utilized for educational materials, phonetic guides, or ordered list markers. Although it is derived from the Hangul script, its design and usage align more with decorative or indexing purposes rather than standard Korean text, and it may appear in specialized contexts like vintage Japanese documents or stylized signage.
