U+2478 Parenthesized Digit Five
U+2478 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Enclosed Alphanumerics in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Number and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The codepoint represents the digit 5.
The glyph is a compatibility composition of the glyphs Left Parenthesis, Digit Five, Right Parenthesis. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2478 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Enclosed Alphanumerics is a Unicode block of typographical symbols of an alphanumeric within a circle, a bracket or other not-closed enclosure, or ending in a full stop.
It is currently fully allocated. Within the Basic Multilingual Plane, a few additional enclosed numerals are in the Dingbats and the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months blocks. There is also a block with more of these characters in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane named Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement (U+1F100–U+1F1FF), as of Unicode 6.0.
