Unicode Version 17.0
㏅
U+33C5 "㏅" Square Cd is a typographic symbol known as the square CD, used primarily in East Asian computing contexts to represent the unit of luminous intensity, the candela, in a compact monospaced format. It belongs to the CJK Compatibility block of Unicode, which encodes a set of ideographic and unit symbols designed for compatibility with legacy character sets. This character forms a single glyph that combines the Western abbreviation "Cd" within a squared enclosure, allowing it to fit neatly in text where a full-width or consistent grid layout is required.
