Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+3235 "" Parenthesized Ideograph Special is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph enclosed within parentheses, specifically representing the concept of "special." It belongs to the block of "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months," which was designed for compatibility with legacy East Asian character sets used in vertical text layouts and telephone directories. In practice, this character is often employed in Japanese contexts, such as in labels or forms, to denote a special or exceptional category, though it has largely been made obsolete by modern encoding practices and is primarily preserved for historical interoperability.
