Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+322F "" Parenthesized Ideograph Earth is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the concept of "earth" or "ground" enclosed within parentheses, often used in East Asian contexts for indexing or labeling purposes. It is derived from the ideograph "土" (earth), and its parenthesized form appears in historical or specific text encoding systems, such as those for telephone directories or tables, to provide a compact and visually distinct indication of an entry or category related to earth. Though designated as a compatibility character, it is rarely used in modern everyday writing but remains a part of the Unicode standard to ensure faithful representation of legacy data and documents.
