That predates Unicode. Although I don't have personal memories of the=20 transition, I suspect that back then instead of =E3=8D=BB (U+337B SQUARE = ERA NAME=20 HEISEI) people just wrote the two characters =E5=B9=B3=E6=88=90 (U+5E73, = U+6210) as both of the=20 latter are in JIS X 0208-1983. Most likely a similar substitute will be=20 available next year, though we won't know for sure until late February at= the=20 earliest. In my limited experience the two-character spelling is ubiquitous even to= day,=20 and the special single character is used mostly in official documents.
