Unicode Version 18.0

U+334B "" Square Mega is a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph that represents the word "megabyte" in Japanese, specifically written as the square form of the katakana characters for "me" (メ), "ga" (ガ), "ba" (バ), and "i" (イ) combined into a single square glyph. This character is part of the "CJK Compatibility" block, which includes precomposed versions of terms commonly used in East Asian writing, particularly for measurements, symbols, or proprietary names. The "square" designation refers to its typical appearance as a compact, fixed-width symbol, and it was originally encoded to maintain compatibility with legacy character sets like Japanese JIS X 0208. While its primary use is in Japanese text for denoting the unit of data storage, it is also included in Unicode to ensure proper display and interchange across different systems and fonts.
