U+3333 "㌳" Square Huiito Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㌳
U+3333 "㌳" Square Huiito is a CJK compatibility ideograph from the Unicode block "CJK Compatibility," specifically representing the Katakana word "ウイイト" (uiiito), which is a phonetic rendering of "weeto" or "wheat" when used in square-style typographic forms. This character is part of a set of precomposed squared Katakana words that were historically used in Japanese vertical text layouts for compact representation of loanwords and measurements, particularly in contexts like menu displays or signage. Its usage today is largely legacy or stylistic, as modern text typically handles such combinations without needing dedicated encoded squares.
