Source: Browser Default
U+33BF "㎿" Square Mw Mega is a precomposed CJK compatibility ideograph that represents the unit "megawatt," a standard measure of power equal to one million watts, often used in electrical engineering and energy production contexts. This character was encoded in the Unicode standard to facilitate compatibility with legacy East Asian character sets, where such square-form unit symbols were commonly employed in Japanese and Chinese technical texts. Its inclusion allows for precise typographic representation of the abbreviation "MW" enclosed within a single character space, preserving the intended formatting of older documents and databases without requiring separate Latin letters or spacing adjustments.
