U+3286 "㊆" Circled Ideograph Seven Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3286 "㊆" Circled Ideograph Seven is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph that represents the number seven enclosed within a circle, serving as a visual abbreviation or symbol often used in East Asian contexts for enumeration, lists, or decorative numbering. It belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, which includes similar circled ideographs for numbers one through ten, and is most commonly applied in Japanese printing and signage for calendar dates, rankings, or menu items where a compact, stylized numeral is preferred. The character combines the standard ideograph for "seven" (七) with the enclosing circle symbol (丸) to create a unified glyph that maintains legibility while adding a typographic accent, and it is semantically interchangeable with its uncircled counterpart in most modern digital text, though its use emphasizes visual organization or traditional presentation.
