Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+323A "" Parenthesized Ideograph Call is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that combines the character for "call" or "summon" (召) within parentheses, specifically designed for use in East Asian typographic environments to denote the verb "call" in contexts such as telephone commands or menu items. It belongs to the "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" Unicode block, which includes various parenthesized and circled ideographs used as shorthand symbols in legacy computing and text formats. This particular character is primarily employed in Japanese and Chinese text systems, often appearing in telegraph-style communications, signage, or older software interfaces to represent the action of calling without requiring full script, though its use has diminished with modern Unicode standards favoring other representations.
