U+330E "㌎" Square Garon Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+330E "㌎" Square Garon is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) square character that represents the phonetic rendering of the French word "garon," which itself is a misspelling or variant of "garçon," meaning "boy" or "waiter" in French. This character was encoded as part of the CJK Compatibility block in Unicode, specifically designed to fit into a square-shaped space for compatibility with older Japanese character sets and text formats where such symbols were used to represent foreign loanwords or place names. In practice, "㌎" is rarely used in modern Japanese writing, having been largely replaced by standard katakana spellings, but it remains preserved in the Unicode standard for historical and interoperability purposes.
