U+326E "㉮" Circled Hangul Kiyeok A is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph representing the Korean syllable "가" (ga), which is formed by the initial consonant "kiyeok" (ㄱ) and the vowel "a" (ㅏ), enclosed within a circle. This character belongs to the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block, and it is primarily used in legacy East Asian text systems, such as in telephone directories, signage, or older computer interfaces, where it served as a typographic convenience for creating circled Korean syllables without the need for combining characters.
