U+33BE "㎾" Square Kw Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+33BE "㎾" Square Kw is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the unit "kilowatt," abbreviated as "kW," enclosed in a square for compatibility with East Asian text encoding systems where such squared abbreviations are common. This character is part of the CJK Compatibility block, which was designed to maintain round-trip compatibility with older legacy character sets used in Japan, China, and Korea, and it is typically used in contexts where space is limited, such as on electronic displays, measurement instruments, or formatted technical documents. While modern text often simply uses the standard letters "kW," this single character was encoded to preserve the exact appearance and functionality of legacy data.
