Okay, i thought i was done with weird japanese shenanigans like the half width kanas (ｱｲｴｳｵ) but WHAT IS THIS?! 
—> ㍉
Unfortunately for me, unlike half width kanas, there are no information about this whatsoever other than the fact that it's apparently a unicode? Some people say it's like an emote, others say it's like the japanese equivalent of ™...
I'm not too sure anymore...please help 
They're shorthand for measurements, like writing "mm" instead of "millimetre" in English.
㍉ ミリ milli(metre, gram, etc.)
㌔ キロ kilo(metre, gram, etc.)
Omg i've just noticed that
Thank you for clarifying!! 
ミリ and キロ refer to metric measurements. Japan has been using the metric system for over 100 years.
I see! 
㌢ —> i tried seeing if there are more of them and i found one for Centi! Though i'm not too sure about the others as i tried Deka (da) and Deci (d) but i didn't got any result...
ありがとうございます！
