U+3366 "" Ideographic Telegraph Symbol for Hour Fourteen is a special CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) compatibility ideograph used in older telegraph and telecommunication systems to represent the time 14:00 or 2 PM in a single, compact symbol. This character belongs to the "CJK Compatibility" block, which was designed to encode precomposed forms that existed in legacy character sets, such as those used in Japanese telegraphy. It visually combines the Chinese numeral for fourteen (十四) with the character for hour (時 or time) into one unit, facilitating efficient transmission of time data in coded messages. Though rarely used in modern digital communication, it remains a historical artifact of early telecommunication encoding practices.
