Unicode Version 17.0
㍝
U+335D "㍝" Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for Hour Five is a CJK compatibility ideograph used within the context of Japanese telegraph and telecommunication systems to denote the specific time of five o'clock. It belongs to a set of squared symbols that represent each hour of the day, combining the kanji for "hour" or "time" with a numeral, in this case the character for the number five. This character was included in Unicode primarily to support legacy data interchange from Japanese telegraphic services, where such compact symbols were standard for encoding time indications in telegrams. It is rarely used in modern digital text outside of historical or specialized correspondence.
