History & usage: NUMBER THIRTEEN FULL STOP is a punctuation mark with codepoint 2494 in the Unicode set. It sits in the Enclosed Alphanumerics block and uses the Common script. This symbol is part of the family of marks used to end sentences or thoughts, and it can appear inside or beside numbered or enclosed characters. The exact shape and availability depend on the font and rendering system. In practice, users may see it in lists, worksheets, or stylistic designs that include circled numbers. The usage_atoms describe that punctuation marks structure text and convey tone, and that usage conventions differ by style and locale. This means editors and designers choose how and where to place it, or whether to use a plain period instead. Across languages, preferences for such symbols vary, and the symbol may be chosen for visual emphasis, clarity, or to match a particular aesthetic. Overall, this mark is a niche option, useful when a circled or enclosed number format is desired and the audience accepts or expects it.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
