U+3327 "㌧" Square Ton Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㌧
U+3327 "㌧" Square Ton is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the word "ton" enclosed within a square, functioning as a single glyph unit typically used in Japanese text to denote a unit of weight or mass, specifically the metric ton. It belongs to the "CJK Compatibility" block, which was originally designed for compatibility with older character encoding standards where such squared forms were used to abbreviate units, like "ton," in East Asian typesetting. This character allows for efficient, space-saving representation in digital text, particularly in contexts such as shipping, logistics, or industrial documentation within Japanese-language environments.
