Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+320D "" Parenthesized Hangul Hieuh is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the Korean consonant "hieuh" (equivalent to the English "h" sound) enclosed within parentheses, and it belongs to a set of parenthesized Hangul characters used primarily in legacy computing contexts to denote the initial consonant of a Korean syllable in a compact, symbolic format. This character is part of the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block and was included in Unicode to ensure compatibility with older Korean character encoding standards, where such parentheses were employed for textual formatting or annotation purposes. While it is not commonly used in modern digital text, it remains a recognized symbol within Unicode for historical and interoperability reasons.
