Parenthesized Latin Small Letter K

Parenthesized Latin Small Letter K is a circled or bracketed alphanumeric character, commonly used for compact numbered or lettered markers — list items, diagram callouts, or step indicators — directly within plain text.

Unicode block: Enclosed Alphanumerics (U+2460–U+24FF). This block provides numbers and letters pre-enclosed in circles or parentheses — useful for numbered lists, labeled diagrams, and step markers — without needing separate image graphics or CSS styling.

At Unicode code point U+24A6 (decimal 9382), Parenthesized Latin Small Letter K is the 71st of 160 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: This character set only covers numbers roughly up to 20 and a single alphabet cycle — for larger lists, regular numbering with formatting (CSS counters, list styles) is more practical.
