The bidi class of COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE is Nonspacing Mark (Weak). It belongs to the non-spacing marks, which take on the directionality of the characters to which they attach..

The Nonspacing Mark (NSM) bidi class is assigned to diacritical marks that do not occupy their own space but modify the preceding base character. NSMs are neutral in directionality but inherit the directionality of the base character they are attached to. They are essential for the accurate representation of characters with diacritics in bidirectional text.

Enclosing Mark (Me) refers to marks that enclose or surround a base character, modifying its meaning or pronunciation. These marks are used in scripts like Arabic and Tibetan, where they often serve religious or grammatical functions. Enclosing marks are rare compared to nonspacing and spacing marks.
