U+32E1

Circled Katakana Tu Letter Meaning

㋡ is a Unicode symbol representing the Katakana sound “tu,” shown inside a circle. In practice, it behaves like a stylized typographic mark: the enclosed circle makes it easier to spot as a standalone element, similar to other circled kana used in labels, icons, or structured text. Because it encodes a specific character form (Circled Katakana TU), it’s most useful when you need a consistent Japanese-style symbol rather than typing a plain “tu.” Its meaning is usually tied to the character’s identity (the “tu” kana in a circled design), rather than a separate symbolic concept.

Common uses

  • Marking a “TU/つ” section in study materials or kana charts
  • Building patterned headers or separators in web or print layouts
  • Creating game UI elements for teams, levels, or item tags
  • Typing quick decorative symbols in social posts that reference “tu”
