The following characters found in Big5 are single characters, I think they
are recent inventions too, indicating various quantities of measure

�_ gallon - jia-lun

This character is composed of jia �[ and lun �� where the former is above
the latter.

�` kilowatt - qian-wa

This character is composed of (1000) qian �d and wa �� but for stylistic
reasons, the former character is to the right of the latter character, and
the lower portion of the latter character is extended below the first
character.

Others are �Y�Z�[�\�]�^ which are various quantities of grams.

Another is new character is �a millimeter formed with mi �� (meter) and li
�� (milli-)

Where are the syllable boundaries represented when each are composite
characters that fills the space of one character?
