Unicode Version 17.0
㊄
U+3284 "㊄" Circled Ideograph Five is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the number five enclosed within a circle. It is commonly used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in contexts such as ordered lists, menu items, or decorative numbering, where it serves as a visual or typographic alternative to the standard numeral five. This character is part of the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, which includes similar circled ideographs for other numbers and symbols, and was encoded to support compatibility with earlier character sets and legacy applications that used such stylized forms.
