U+331F Square Saikuru

U+331F was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+3300 to U+33FF CJK Compatibility in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is mainly used in the Katakana script.

The glyph is a square composition of the glyphs Glyph for U+30B5 Katakana Letter Sa, Glyph for U+30A4 Katakana Letter I, Glyph for U+30AF Katakana Letter Ku, Glyph for U+30EB Katakana Letter Ru. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. This katakana joins with other adjacent katakana to form a word. U+331F offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle—the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians. As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) or to one revolution (symbol rev or r). Common related units of frequency are cycles per second (cps) and revolutions per minute (rpm). The angular unit of the turn is useful in connection with, among other things, electromagnetic coils (e.g., transformers), rotating objects, and the winding number of curves. Subdivisions of a turn include the half-turn and quarter-turn, spanning a straight angle and a right angle, respectively; metric prefixes can also be used as in, e.g., centiturns (ctr), milliturns (mtr), etc.

Because one turn is 2 π radians, some have proposed representing 2π with a single letter. In 2010, Michael Hartl proposed using the Greek letter τ (tau), equal to the ratio of a circle's circumference to its radius ( 2 π ) and corresponding to one turn, for greater conceptual simplicity when stating angles in radians. This proposal did not initially gain widespread acceptance in the mathematical community, but the constant has become more widespread, having been added to several major programming languages and calculators.

In the ISQ, an arbitrary "number of turns" (also known as "number of revolutions" or "number of cycles") is formalized as a dimensionless quantity called rotation, defined as the ratio of a given angle and a full turn. It is represented by the symbol N. (See below for the formula.)
