U2469

U+2469, also known as PARENTHESIZED DIGIT NINE, is a Unicode character in the Enclosed Alphanumerics block. Its glyph appears as the digit nine enclosed in a rounded form, and it is used to denote the number nine in a stylized, enclosed style rather than as plain text.

The official Unicode name for this code point is PARENTHESIZED DIGIT NINE. The code point is 0x2469 (decimal 9313). In UTF-8, U+2469 is encoded as the three-byte sequence E2 91 A9. In HTML, it can be represented as ② or ⑩.

Usage of U+2469 is primarily for typography and labeling, such as in outlines, lists, or annotations where numerals are presented in a design that visually separates them from surrounding text. It may also appear in forms or interfaces that adopt decorative—or culturally specific—numeral styling. Rendering depends on the font and platform; not all fonts include the glyph, in which case a fallback such as the plain digit nine or a similar symbol may be shown.

Related characters include the other enclosed digits U+2460 through U+2468 and U+246A through U+2473, all part of the Enclosed Alphanumerics block. In general typography, these characters are used sparingly in modern digital text due to potential inconsistency across fonts and systems.
