Unicode Version 17.0
㌟
U+331F "㌟" Square Saikuru is a CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the Japanese katakana word "サイクル" (saikuru), which is a loanword from the English term "cycle." This character is part of the "CJK Compatibility" block in Unicode, specifically designed for compatibility with legacy East Asian character sets, and it is used in Japanese text as a single squarified glyph to neatly represent the multi-character katakana term, often for typographic or space-saving purposes.
