U+32A0 "㊠" Circled Ideograph Item Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+32A0 "㊠" Circled Ideograph Item is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) symbol consisting of the ideograph for "item" enclosed within a circle, part of the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" block. It is commonly used in East Asian contexts, particularly in lists, menus, or forms, to denote an item or article in a structured way, similar to how numbers or letters are used for enumeration. This character inherits its meaning from the un-encircled ideograph "項" (xiàng in Mandarin, kō in Japanese), which signifies a clause, item, or term, and the circle adds visual emphasis or ordering function. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for consistent digital representation across platforms, making it useful for signage, documentation, or any text requiring compact, universally recognizable labels.
