What ⒐ means
The dot belongs to the marker: read ⒐ like “9.” at the start of the ninth list item.
These forms were designed as compact numbered bullets for East Asian text and retained for compatibility with older East Asian character sets.
It reads like a list marker, suited to outlines and labels.
Use “9.” when compatibility matters more than compactness.
