Square Koopo

31/256

㌞ is a compact Japanese form of コーポ, a label for apartment buildings. Its square design fits the Katakana word into one character position; Japanese property names use the ordinary spelling コーポ.

Text symbol

What ㌞ means

It is a one-cell Japanese form of コーポ, an apartment label.

A Japanese dictionary cites コーポラス in a 1965 novel by Tatsuzō Ishikawa. It tentatively traces the word to an abbreviation of the English phrase “corporate house” and defines it as a concrete mid- or high-rise apartment building; コーポ is a shorter form. The date is for the word, not this glyph.

㌞ compresses コーポ into one square-shaped character cell. Japanese property names use the ordinary spelling コーポ.

Why does ㌞ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
