U+33B0 Square Ps

U+33B0 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+3300 to U+33FF CJK Compatibility in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is a square composition of the glyphs Glyph for U+0070 Latin Small Letter P, Glyph for U+0073 Latin Small Letter S. Its East Asian Width is wide. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+33B0 offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

A picosecond (abbreviated as ps) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10−12 or 11 000 000 000 000 (one trillionth) of a second. That is one trillionth, or one millionth of one millionth of a second, or 0.000 000 000 001 seconds. A picosecond is to one second as one second is to approximately 31,689 years. Multiple technical approaches achieve imaging within single-digit picoseconds: for example, the streak camera or intensified CCD (ICCD) cameras are able to picture the motion of light.

One picosecond is equal to 1000 femtoseconds, or 1/1000 nanoseconds. Because the next SI unit is 1000 times larger, measurements of 10−11 and 10−10 second are typically expressed as tens or hundreds of picoseconds. Some notable measurements in this range include:

  • 1.0 picoseconds (1.0 ps) – cycle time for electromagnetic frequency 1 terahertz (THz) (1 x 1012 hertz), an inverse unit. This corresponds to a wavelength of 0.3 mm, as can be calculated by multiplying 1 ps by the speed of light (approximately 3 x 108 m/s) to determine the distance traveled. 1 THz is in the far infrared.
  • 1 picosecond – time taken by light in vacuum to travel approximately 0.30 mm
  • 1 picosecond – half-life of a bottom quark
  • ~1 picosecond – lifetime of a single H
    3
    O+
    (hydronium) ion in water at 20 °C
  • picoseconds to nanoseconds – phenomena observable by dielectric spectroscopy
  • 1.2 picoseconds – switching time of the world's fastest transistor (845 GHz, as of 2006)
  • 1.7 picoseconds – rotational correlation time of water
  • 3.3 picoseconds (approximately) – time taken for light to travel 1 millimeter
  • 10 picoseconds after the Big Bang – electromagnetism separates from the other fundamental forces
  • 34 picoseconds – signal rise time (20% to 80%) of a SFP+ transmitter for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
  • 10–150 picoseconds – rotational correlation times of a molecule (184 g/mol) from hot to frozen water
  • 100 picoseconds – Unit Interval of a 10 Gbps serial communication link, such as USB 3.1.
  • 108.7827757 picoseconds – transition time between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at absolute zero
  • 330 picoseconds (approximately) – the time it takes a common 3.0 GHz computer CPU to complete a processing cycle
