Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+33DF "" Square A over M is a square symbol that visually stacks a capital Latin letter A above a capital Latin letter M, and it belongs to the CJK Compatibility block, which contains ideographic and symbol characters used primarily for East Asian text formatting and telecommunication standards. This specific glyph is a legacy compatibility character, originally encoded to represent a common abbreviation in Japanese text for units such as ammeter or ampere per meter, where the A stands for ampere and the M for meter. It serves as a compact, square-shaped unit symbol that aligns with the typographic conventions of square character forms often used in East Asian typography. While modern systems typically use plain text or separate superscript and subscript characters, this character remains available for backward compatibility with older character sets and documents.
