What ㋏ means
It abbreviates “limited liability.”
The square lets the company abbreviation LTD fill one Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text cell. North Korea’s KPS 9566-97 character-set standard listed it by 1997; that 70-symbol set was registered internationally in 1998. Korean-language references also gloss it as 유한 책임 (“limited liability”) and give (유) as a Korean shorthand.
Formal company notation, not ordinary prose.
As of 2026, South Korean registration guidance bars symbols in company names and requires the company type spelled out.
