0x24D9

0x24D9 refers to the Unicode code point U+24D9, named CIRCLED SMALL LETTER J. It is part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, which contains Latin letters and numbers enclosed in circles for decorative or symbolic use.

Appearance and usage: The character renders as a lowercase j inside a circle. The exact look depends on the font and rendering system; some fonts provide a dedicated circled glyph, while others may fall back to a generic enclosed form or a missing-glyph symbol if the glyph is not available. This circled letter is typically used for stylistic purposes, labels in diagrams, branding elements, or special list markers rather than for standard text.

Encoding details: In Unicode, the code point is U+24D9. In UTF-8, U+24D9 is encoded as E2 93 99. In UTF-16, it is represented by a single code unit 0x24D9, since it lies within the Basic Multilingual Plane. In UTF-32, it is 0x000024D9. The code point’s decimal value is 9433.

Context and limitations: Enclosed Alphanumerics, including U+24D9, are supported across many modern systems but not guaranteed on all fonts or platforms. Some software may render the character as a replacement glyph if the specific circled j is unavailable. Care should be taken in accessibility contexts, as screen readers may not convey the intended decorative meaning.

See also: The Enclosed Alphanumerics block contains other circled letters and digits, used similarly for decorative labeling and emphasis. 0x24D9 specifically designates the circled small letter j.
