U+338C "㎌" Square Mu F Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
㎌
U+338C "㎌" Square Mu F is a precomposed CJK Compatibility glyph representing the microfarad unit of electrical capacitance, combining the Greek letter mu (μ) for micro and the letter F for farad into a single square character. It belongs to the CJK Compatibility block, which includes various unit symbols and technical abbreviations encoded for compatibility with East Asian text standards, particularly for use in ideographic environments where spacing and alignment are important. This character is typically used in scientific and engineering contexts to denote capacitance values in microfarads, though modern Unicode usage often favors the separate sequence of characters for greater clarity and consistency.
