U+332F "㌯" Square Pikuru is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph, specifically a precomposed square form of the Japanese word "pikuru," which is a transliteration of the English word "picul" or "pikul," a traditional unit of weight used in East and Southeast Asia, typically equal to about 60 kilograms or 133⅓ pounds.
