So I started playing Steins;Gate in Japanese the other day. And in one of the
Tips about a character from the 雷ネット翔 , キラリちゃん is described as

> 頭が良くて、スポーツ万能。しかもカワイくて性格も〇

(But inside of 〇 is another circle...)

I don't know how to pronounce it and what it means...

Circle inside a circle character. What is it?
After doing some investigation, it seems that there are two Unicode characters
which are made of a circle inside another circle:

  * ◎ U+25CE BULLSEYE
  * ⭗ U+2B57 HEAVY CIRCLE WITH CIRCLE INSIDE

In this Japanese context, only the first one ◎ appears to be appropriate
([Wiktionary](https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%97%8E)), since it is known as
二重丸【にじゅうまる】 and is defined as 「とても良いことを示す記号。」, which suggests that it is
indeed a stronger (double) variation of the more commonly used symbol ○
丸【まる】「良いことを示す記号。」([Wiktionary](https://ja.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%97%8B)).

So, 性格も◎ can probably be understood as something like " _very good_ character
too"...
