It's basically a logo, and as such doesn't belong in Unicode, which doesn't encode logos. Insofar as it's used in or near running text (to write the word "anarchy" itself, or as a bullet point, e.g.), it's a mere glyph variant of circled capital A. There is unlikely to be any text where the two are used contrastively. > See for example, http://www.4commongood.org/images/circlea.jpg > > This character has a distinct history and meaning, and I believe it to > be suitable for inclusion in Unicode as a separate character from > CIRCLED LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A.
