U+320C "㈌" Parenthesized Hangul Phieuph Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+320C "㈌" Parenthesized Hangul Phieuph is a CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the Hangul syllable "Phieuph" (ㅍ) enclosed within parentheses. It belongs to the block of CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement, which was originally designed to support vertical text layouts or legacy character encodings used in East Asian computing. This character is rarely used in modern digital text, as its function of indicating a parenthesized phonetic element can be achieved with standard parentheses and the letter "ㅍ" in Unicode. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard primarily serves to preserve compatibility with older character sets from Korean or other East Asian systems.
