U+320A "" Parenthesized Hangul Khieukh Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+320A "" Parenthesized Hangul Khieukh is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility character that represents the Korean consonant "Kieuk" (equivalent to "ㅋ") enclosed within parentheses. It was designed for use in legacy East Asian text systems, such as in early Korean computer encoding standards or in certain typeset materials, to denote numbered lists, annotations, or specific formatting contexts where a parenthesized version of a Hangul character was needed for visual clarity. While it is part of the Unicode standard for the sake of data interchange and historical compatibility, it is not typically used in modern digital text, as standard parentheses around a regular letter are now the preferred method of representation.
