Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+33CD "㏍" Square Kk is a compatibility ideograph within the "CJK Compatibility" block, specifically categorized as a vertically formatted unit symbol used in East Asian square script. It represents the Latin abbreviation "KK" enclosed in a square glyph, which is typically employed to denote the Hindu god Krishna in some contexts, though it is also used as a generic squared notation for the letters "K" and "k" in certain legacy character sets. This character was included primarily to maintain roundtrip conversion fidelity with older Japanese and Chinese standards, and it is not commonly used in modern text but persists in specialized typography and digital archives.
