Chinese character

The CJK Symbols and Punctuation block contains one Chinese character: U+3007 〇 IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO. Although it is not covered under "Unified Ideographs", it is treated as a CJK character for all other intents and purposes.[6]

Emoji

The CJK Symbols and Punctuation block contains two emoji: U+3030 and U+303D.[7][8]

The block has four standardized variants defined to specify emoji-style (U+FE0F VS16) or text presentation (U+FE0E VS15) for the two emoji, both of which default to a text presentation.[9]
