U+33DD "㏝" Square Wb Unicode Character

U+33DD "㏝" Square Wb is a graphic symbol known as the "Square Wb," where "Wb" stands for weber, the SI unit of magnetic flux. This character is part of the CJK Compatibility block in Unicode, designed for compatibility with East Asian text encodings that use squared Latin abbreviations to represent units like centimeter, kilogram, or weber in a compact, monospaced format. Typically rendered as a square containing the letters "W" and "b," it serves as a single-character representation for the unit in contexts such as scientific notation or technical documentation, particularly within Japanese and Chinese computing environments where such squared unit symbols are standardized
