U+333B "㌻" Square Peezi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㌻
U+333B "㌻" Square Peezi is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the word "pages" in Japanese, functioning as a typographic unit for counting sheets or leaves of paper. It is a so-called "square" character, part of a historical set designed for compatibility with older Japanese character encodings where certain compound words or phrases were encoded as single glyphs for vertical text layout. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete, having been replaced by standard Unicode characters that allow for more flexible representation of the word "ページ" (peezi), though it may still appear in legacy documents or specialized typographic contexts.
