U+33CA "㏊" Square Ha Unicode Character

U+33CA "㏊" Square Ha is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the unit of area measurement "hectare," combining the characters for "hecto-" and "are" into a single square symbol. It is part of the CJK Compatibility block, which contains older, precomposed characters used for vertical text or legacy encoding systems, such as Japanese industrial standards. In modern usage, this character is rarely employed in digital text, as the standard Latin abbreviation "ha" is more common, but it remains a valid encoded symbol for specialized or historical contexts.
