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.
