square da

Square da

115/256

Before a unit, ㍲ means “multiply by ten”: it is the International System of Units (SI) prefix da (deca, also spelled deka). The square frame fits those two Latin letters into one East Asian character-width cell.

Text symbol

What ㍲ means

㍲ is da: multiply the following unit by ten.

For example, dam combines da with m for metre and means ten metres.

The square packs both letters into one character-width cell for fixed-width East Asian text. It changes the layout, not the prefix's value.

Why did ㍲ turn into da?

NFKC or NFKD compatibility normalization can do that: it decomposes ㍲ into da, leaving the prefix's meaning unchanged.
