U+32EE "㋮" Circled Katakana Ma Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㋮
U+32EE "㋮" Circled Katakana Ma is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the Japanese katakana syllable "ma" enclosed within a circle, primarily used in East Asian typography for visual emphasis or as part of a coded notation system. This character belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, which includes circled forms of katakana and other symbols designed for compatibility with legacy character sets. It appears in contexts such as keycaps, instructional labels, or game interfaces where a compact, enclosed form of the syllable is needed, and it is distinct from ordinary katakana because it has its own unique code point for consistent digital representation.
