U+337D "㍽" Square Era Name Taisyou Unicode Character
U+337D "㍽" Square Era Name Taisyou is a single CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character that encodes the Japanese era name "Taisho" (大正) into a compact square-shaped block for use in vertical text and digital typesetting. It represents the name of the reign period of Emperor Yoshihito, which lasted from 1912 to 1926, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for seamless representation of this historical era in plain text without relying on complex formatting or multiple characters. This square character is part of a set of squared era name symbols designed to match the visual style of other East Asian squared glyphs, facilitating consistent display in contexts like calendars, legal documents, and software interfaces where traditional era names are still commonly used in Japan.
