U+3319 "㌙" Square Guramuton Unicode Character
U+3319 "㌙" Square Guramuton is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) square kanji character that represents a specific unit of measurement in the Japanese metric system, where it stands for "guramuton," which is a transliteration of the English word "gram-ton," a unit of mass equal to one million grams. This character is part of the Unicode block for CJK Compatibility Ideographs, which encodes precomposed forms of Japanese katakana and kanji juxtaposed in a square layout, often used in older Japanese text encoding systems for brevity and standardization. In modern usage, it appears in contexts like historical documents or specialized technical writing where abbreviated metric units were common, though it has largely been replaced by more standard notation in contemporary Japanese text.
