U+3291 "㊑" Circled Ideograph Stock Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+3291 "㊑" Circled Ideograph Stock is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph enclosed in a circle, representing the concept of "stock" or "share" as used in financial and business contexts. This character is derived from the Japanese "kabu" symbol, which commonly appears in signage, documents, or displays referring to stocks, shares, or market-related terminology, particularly in Japan. It is part of the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" Unicode block, designed for compatibility with older character encoding standards where such circled forms were commonly used in East Asian text systems.
