U+328F "㊏" Circled Ideograph Earth Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㊏
U+328F "㊏" Circled Ideograph Earth is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the concept of "earth" or "land" enclosed within a circle, reflecting its use in traditional East Asian contexts such as calendrical systems, directional notation, or as a symbolic marker for the Earth element in the Five Elements (Wu Xing) philosophy. This character falls under the Unicode block "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" and is encoded primarily for compatibility with pre-existing character sets, rather than for general modern text, often appearing in legacy documents, decorative signage, or specialized symbolic representations where a circled earth ideogram was previously required.
