0x246D

0x246D is a hexadecimal notation that corresponds to the Unicode code point U+246D. In Unicode, U+246D is named CIRCLED NUMBER FOURTEEN and is part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, which spans from U+2460 to U+2473. The glyph for this code point is a circle containing the two-digit numeral 14 (⑭). This character is used in contexts where circled enumerations are preferred, such as diagrams, forms, or stylized lists, rather than in ordinary prose.

The character’s availability depends on font support. Many modern fonts include the circled numeral set, but some environments may fall back to a square placeholder if the glyph is not supported. When rendering on web pages or documents, the character can be included via a numeric character reference: either decimal ⑭ or hexadecimal ⑭. In Unicode-aware software, U+246D will be rendered according to the active font’s design for Enclosed Alphanumerics.

Related characters exist within the same block, including U+2460 through U+246F, which cover circled digits and numbers from one to twenty. These are used similarly for decorative numbering and annotation. While useful for certain visual layouts, circled numbers are not typically used for standard indexing in formal writing and may affect accessibility if not clearly labeled.
