Parenthesized Digit Nine

⑼ writes nine in parentheses as one character, usually marking item nine in a list or reference. Parenthesized numbers also served as typewriter-friendly alternatives to circled numerals.

What ⑼ means

It marks the ninth entry in a numbered sequence.

⑼ is the parenthesized 9 symbol used as a compact list marker in references, tables, and tightly set text.

Parenthesized numbers developed as typewriter-friendly alternatives to circled numerals and later served as compact list bullets. Unicode keeps ⑼ as one character and defines the ordinary sequence (9) as its compatibility mapping.

It sounds formal and typographic, like a marker in a numbered list or reference.

Use (9) for ordinary parentheses; ⑼ is a distinct character.

Don't confuse it with

⑨

Circled Digit Nine

⑼ versus ⑨: the first uses parentheses; the second encloses nine in a circle.

⒐

Digit Nine Full Stop

⒐ represents nine followed by a full stop, not a parenthesized nine.

(9)

⑼ versus (9): ⑼ is one character; (9) is three ordinary characters. Unicode defines the latter as its compatibility mapping.

Questions people ask

Why does ⑼ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
