DescriptionThe Unicode character ⃝, or U+20DD, is known as the "Combining Enclosing Circle". It belongs to the "Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols" block, which includes diacritical mark characters that are applied to symbols. This character falls under the "Mark, Enclosing" category. As a diacritical mark, it does not stand alone but is added to another character. When applied to a base character, the Combining Enclosing Circle visually appears as a circle that encloses the base character. This is often used to create a new symbol or to give a special meaning to the base character. For instance, it can be used to denote a specific item in diagrams or charts, or to highlight or mark a particular letter or symbol in a text. As with other diacritical marks, the specific usage of the Combining Enclosing Circle can depend on its context.
