U+32E6 "㋦" Circled Katakana Nu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㋦
U+32E6 "㋦" Circled Katakana Nu is a precomposed CJK character that combines the Japanese katakana syllable "nu" (ヌ) enclosed within a circular boundary, part of the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block. It is used in ideographic context for notation, labeling, or decorative purposes in East Asian typography, such as in maps, diagrams, or educational materials where a single character within a circle standardizes the representation of the syllable. Its design inherited from the JIS X 0208 encoding ensures compatibility with older systems that rely on such predefined circled forms.
