U+3332 "㌲" Square Huaraddo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㌲
U+3332 "㌲" Square Huaraddo is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the word "huaraddo," a Japanese katakana-based transliteration of the English word "wallet." This character is part of a collection of squared katakana compounds historically used in Japanese typography to compress foreign loanwords into a single square-shaped unit, often for compatibility with older text encoding systems or for use in signage and logos. While it is rarely used in modern digital text, it remains a preserved relic in the Unicode standard, serving as a bridge between legacy encoding practices and contemporary global character representation.
