What ⓭ means
It marks number 13 in white on a dark circle. This negative circled 13 is a typographic marker for a numbered item or reference.
A 1999 Japanese standards proposal recorded circled and negative-circled numbers in laws, newspapers, and other publications. Enclosed numbers were designed as numbered bullets; Unicode preserves this typographic family as text.
The exact shape and spacing of ⓭ can vary with the font that renders it.
