U+32C1 "㋁" Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for February Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㋁
U+32C1 "㋁" Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for February is a specific glyph used in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character block, representing the month of February in a style originally developed for telegraph communications. It is constructed by enclosing the ideographic character for moon or month within a circle, following the design convention of the ideographic telegraph symbols for the twelve months. This symbol was encoded in Unicode to preserve and digitize the historical telegraphic shorthand used in East Asia, where each month was assigned a unique circled character to save space and increase clarity in transmitted messages.
