U+331D "㌝" Square Koruna Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㌝
U+331D "㌝" Square Koruna is a CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the word "koruna" enclosed in a square, primarily used in East Asian text to denote the currency of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with "koruna" meaning "crown" in Czech and Slovak. This character belongs to the "CJK Compatibility" block, which was designed to preserve the layout and appearance of legacy character sets from older computer systems, where such squared forms were commonly employed in Japanese typography to fit monospaced text spaces. In modern usage, it functions as a specialized symbol for financial or historical contexts rather than as a standard daily text component.
