Unicode Version 17.0
㎫
U+33AB "㎫" Square Mpa is a typographic symbol consisting of the letters "M", "P", and "A" arranged within a single monospaced square glyph, representing the unit of pressure megapascal. It belongs to the CJK Compatibility block, which was designed to encode precomposed squared Latin abbreviations commonly used in East Asian text, particularly in Japanese industrial and technical contexts, to conform with traditional character width and alignment standards. The character allows for the clear and compact representation of the megapascal unit without requiring separate spacing or formatting tricks in legacy computing systems.
