Enclosed Alphanumerics is the name of a range of characters defined by the Unicode standard.

The enclosed numbers and Latin letters of this code block come from several sources, chiefly East Asian standards, and are provided for compatibility with them.

Enclosed letters and numbers occur in the Korean national standard KS C 5601, and in the Chinese standard GB 2312, as well as various East Asian industry standards.

The Zapf Dingbats character set in widespread industry use contains four sets of encircled numbers. The black on white set that has numbers with serifs is encoded here. The other sets are encoded in the range U+2776 to U+2793 in the Dingbats block.

The parenthesized letters or numbers may be decomposed to a sequence of opening parenthesis, letter or digit(s), closing parenthesis. The numbers with a period may be decomposed to a digit(s) followed by a period. The encircled letters and single digit numbers may be decomposed to a letter or digit followed by U+20DD    combining enclosing circle. Decompositions for the encircled numbers 10 through 20 are not supported in Unicode.


Unicode's Enclosed Alphanumerics code block reserves the 160 code points from U+2460 to U+24FF, of which all 160 are currently assigned.

The columns below should be interpreted as :

  1. The Unicode code for the character
  2. The character in question
  3. The Unicode name for the character
  4. The Unicode General Category for the character
  5. The Unicode Bidirectional Category for the character
  6. The Unicode version when this character was added
