U+3240 "" Parenthesized Ideograph Festival is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) symbol that represents a specific kind of enclosed ideograph, where the Chinese character for "festival" or "celebration" is placed within parentheses. This character is part of the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, which was designed to provide typographic symbols for use in lists, calendars, and other contexts where a parenthesized abbreviation is needed. In particular, it is used in East Asian writing systems to denote a festival or holiday in a compact, standardized format, often appearing in schedules, event listings, or signage. The character combines the semantic meaning of the ideograph with the visual enclosure of parentheses, making it a specialized token for cultural and organizational purposes rather than a general-use letter or number.
