U+334F "㍏" Square Yaaru Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㍏
U+334F "㍏" Square Yaaru is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents a square form of the Japanese word "yaaru," which is a unit of area equivalent to about 0.99 acres or 3,991 square meters. This character is part of the Unicode block specifically designed for compatibility with legacy character sets used in East Asian computing, where such squared forms were often employed to fit text into monospaced grids or to represent common measurements in a compact, single-character format. In modern usage, it appears primarily in historical or specialized documents, such as land registration records or traditional Japanese surveying contexts, rather than in contemporary digital communication.
