Square yuan (㍐) is the Unicode character at U+3350 in CJK Compatibility. Official name: SQUARE YUAN. It is a squared (telegraph-style) form related to the Chinese yuan — not the everyday currency signs ¥ or 元.
Remember
Character ㍐
Unicode U+3350
Named entity (none)
Hex entity ㍐
Decimal ㍐
CSS escape \3350
Not the same ¥ · 元 · ￥
Prefer ㍐ or ㍐ in HTML markup. You can also type ㍐ in UTF-8. For ordinary yen/yuan currency display, use ¥ (¥) or 元 instead.
Using Hex Code: ㍐
Using HTML Code: ㍐
Using CSS Entity: ㍐
Typed directly: ㍐
Notation: Amount ㍐ 100
How It Works
1. Hex:U+3350 → ㍐ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 13136 → ㍐. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \3350 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ㍐ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / notation: paste ㍐ in UTF-8, or write Amount ㍐ 100 for a short label.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+3350 — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+3350.
vs ¥
Not the yen sign
U+00A5 (¥, ¥) is the common currency sign. U+3350 is a CJK Compatibility squared form.
vs 元
Not the character 元
元 (U+5143) is the usual Chinese character for yuan. Do not treat ㍐ as a drop-in replacement.
Fonts
Needs CJK font coverage
Some Western UI fonts omit CJK Compatibility glyphs. Prefer a font stack that includes East Asian coverage if the glyph must always show.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &yuan; for U+3350. Use ㍐ or ㍐.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\3350 belongs in CSS strings. ㍐ / ㍐ belong in HTML.

Name the currency in text
Screen readers may not announce this rare glyph clearly. Prefer nearby words like “yuan” or “CNY” when money is the meaning.
