This character is a Other Symbol and is mainly used in the Katakana script.
The glyph is a circle version of the glyph Katakana Letter Ke. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. This katakana joins with other adjacent katakana to form a word. U+32D8 offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
け, (in hiragana) or ケ, (in katakana) is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both represent [ke]. The shape of these kana come from the kanji 計 and 介, respectively.
A dakuten may be added to this character; this changes it to げ in hiragana, ゲ in katakana, ge in Hepburn romanization and the pronunciation shifts to [ɡe] in initial positions and varying between [ŋe] and [ɣe] in the middle of words.
A handakuten (゜) does not occur with ke in normal Japanese text, but it may be used by linguists to indicate a nasal pronunciation [ŋe].
