How it works

The circle symbol is ○, White circle, U+25CB, and the filled one is ●. The 66 rows add larger and bolder rings, ovals, halves and quarters, circles with a dot or star inside, circled maths signs and five circle emoji.

Read the full guide

Which circle is which size

From small to large: ∘, ◦, •, ○, ◯. Filled, ● is the ordinary one and ⬤ the biggest. For a thicker outline, the five rows from 🞅 to 🞉 grow bolder step by step, and ⭘ is a heavy ring. 〇 looks round but is zero in Chinese and Japanese numbers.

Tips

Unicode calls a filled shape black and an outline white, so ● is Black circle whatever colour your text is.
The five bold circles from 🞅 arrived in Unicode 7.0 in 2014; an older device may show boxes.

Questions and answers

What is the Alt code for a circle?

With Num Lock on, hold Alt and type 9 on the number pad for ○. Alt+10 gives ◙, a white circle cut out of a black square, and Alt+7 the small bullet •. The filled ● has no Alt code, so copy it from here.

What is the HTML code for a circle?

&cir; gives ○ and &xcirc; gives the larger ◯. ● has no name, so write ● or ●. The circled signs have names too: &oplus; is ⊕ and &odot; is ⊙.

Why do ○ and ● stand for days in Japan?

Japanese calendars mark six rotating days called Rokuyō. Unicode's names list notes that ○ marks taian, the luckiest, ● butsumetsu, the unluckiest, and ◐ senshō, the first day of the six.
