Enclosed Ideographic Supplement


Enclosed Ideographic Supplement is a Unicode block containing forms of characters and words from Chinese, Japanese and Korean enclosed within or stylised as squares, brackets, or circles. It contains three such characters containing one or more kana, and many containing CJK ideographs. Many of its characters were added for compatibility with the Japanese ARIB [STD B24 character set|ARIB STD-B24] standard. Six symbols from Chinese [folk religion] were added in Unicode version 10.
