U+327E "㉾" Circled Hangul Ieung U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㉾
U+327E "㉾" Circled Hangul Ieung U is a compound symbol from the CJK Compatibility block, representing the Korean syllable "U" with the initial consonant ㅇ (ieung, the placeholder or null initial in Hangul) enclosed in a circle. It was originally designed for compatibility with earlier East Asian encoding standards, such as KS X 1001, and is typically used in Korean contexts to denote a tick mark, a check, or a correct answer, similar to a circled checkmark. This character is distinct from other circled Hangul syllables and remains a standard part of Unicode to ensure proper round-trip conversion with legacy character sets.
