0x2460

0x2460 is the hexadecimal notation for the Unicode code point U+2460, which represents the character known as CIRCLED DIGIT ONE. This character is part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block and is used to display numerals 1 through 20 inside circles. The code point U+2460 has a decimal value of 9312.

In most fonts that support Unicode, the glyph for U+2460 appears as the digit 1 enclosed in a circle, commonly rendered as ①. The range U+2460 to U+247F covers circled numbers from 1 to 20, with each subsequent code point representing the next integer. Because rendering depends on font and platform, some environments may show slightly different circle shapes or styles, and in some cases the character may not display at all if the font lacks support.

Usage considerations include visual identifiers in documents, interfaces, and forms where a circular numbering system is desired for emphasis or stylistic reasons. While convenient for design, circled digits can pose accessibility challenges; screen readers may read the symbol as “circled one” rather than a simple numeral, which can affect how content is understood by users relying on assistive technology. When accessibility is a priority, authors often provide plain text alternatives or structured lists that do not rely solely on such symbols.
