Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+319A "" Ideographic Annotation Second Mark is a specialized symbol used within CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) script environments to denote the second item in a sequence or annotation, typically found in scholarly or pedagogical texts. It belongs to the Kanbun block, which historically aids in the annotation of classical Chinese texts for Japanese readers by indicating reading order or grammatical particles. Unlike standard numerical markers, this character visually resembles a small circled Kanji or a stylized form, serving as a non-standard ordinal indicator rather than a punctuation mark. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation for academic works, dictionaries, or liturgical scripts where precise annotation of sequential commentary is required.
