U+3282 "㊂" Circled Ideograph Three Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㊂
U+3282 "㊂" Circled Ideograph Three is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) symbol that represents the number three enclosed within a circle, often used in East Asian contexts for enumeration, ranking, or as a marker in lists and diagrams. This character is part of the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, and its design derives from the standard kanji or hanzi for "three" (三), which is placed inside a circular boundary for visual clarity and emphasis. In practice, it may be employed in signage, document formatting, or decorative numbering, analogous to how Western systems use circled digits like ③, but specifically tailored to the logographic writing systems of East Asia.
