U+32E4 "㋤" Circled Katakana Na Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㋤
U+32E4 "㋤" Circled Katakana Na is a typographic symbol that represents the Japanese katakana character "ナ" (na) enclosed within a circle, and it belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block of the Unicode standard. This character is primarily used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in Japanese text, where circled katakana letters serve as labels for diagrams, maps, or lists, similar to how circled Latin letters are used in Western contexts. It was added to Unicode in version 1.1 in 1993 as part of a set of 50 circled katakana characters designed to provide clear, compact symbols for enumeration or identification in visual layouts.
