Unicode symbols

For the purposes of compatibility with Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) characters, Unicode has symbols for:

  • millimetre (㎜) - code 339C
  • square millimetre (㎟) - code 339F
  • cubic millimetre (㎣) - code 33A3

They are useful only with East Asian fixed-width CJK fonts, because they are equal in size to one Chinese character.
