U+32F9 "㋹" Circled Katakana Re Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㋹
U+32F9 "㋹" Circled Katakana Re is a specific typographic glyph that represents the Japanese katakana syllable "re" enclosed within a circle, forming part of the CJK Compatibility block of the Unicode standard. This character is primarily used in East Asian contexts, such as on maps, signage, or in limited-use graphic notations where a circled version of the letter is needed for emphasis or categorization, often appearing alongside other circled kana characters for indexing or labeling purposes. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures interoperability across digital systems that require precise rendering of such symbolic elements, though it is generally not part of everyday text and is instead found in specialized or legacy applications.
