About this character

U+24CF (Ⓩ) is CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z, a symbol in the Enclosed Alphanumerics block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its lowercase form is U+24E9 ⓩ.

It is an encircled form of U+005A Z (compatibility decomposition <circle>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+005A Z. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

Its East Asian Width is Ambiguous: it takes one column in Western contexts and two in East Asian legacy contexts, a common cause of misaligned tables in terminals.
