U+32EF "㋯" Circled Katakana Mi Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+32EF "㋯" Circled Katakana Mi is a precomposed square symbol that encloses the Japanese katakana character "ミ" (mi) within a circle, belonging to the CJK Compatibility block. It is primarily used in East Asian text environments, such as Japanese teletext and legacy character sets, where it serves as a compact or decorative representation of the syllable "mi" for purposes like indexing, labeling, or list markers. This character is distinct from a simple katakana letter combined with a combining enclosing circle, as it functions as a single, unified code point for consistent display in older systems.
