U+33A1 "㎡" Square M Squared is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph representing the unit of area "square meters," often used in East Asian contexts such as Japan, China, and Korea to denote floor space or land area. It is encoded in the Unicode standard as a single character for compatibility with legacy character sets and to simplify text layout in environments where such a compact symbol is preferred over typing the full abbreviation "m²."
