U+32BE "㊾" Circled Number Forty Nine is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the number 49 enclosed within a circle, and it belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block. This character is primarily used in East Asian contexts, such as in lists, calendars, or indexing systems, to indicate the ordinal or numeric value forty nine in a compact, visually distinct format. It was encoded in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993, and while it may appear in some East Asian fonts or documents, it is not a standard numeral in modern digital environments and is often replaced by the common "49" digit combination.
