U+1F146 "🅆" Squared Latin Capital Letter W Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F146 "🅆" Squared Latin Capital Letter W is part of the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block, which was introduced in Unicode version 5.2 in 2009. This character is designed to represent the uppercase letter W enclosed within a square or box, often used as a visual indicator for the letter W in contexts such as signage, maps, user interface labels, or emoji-style text formatting. Like other squared Latin letters, it serves as a stylistic or symbolic alternative to a standard capital W, helping to convey meaning in limited space or within enclosed iconographic systems. While not as commonly used as some other enclosed characters, it follows the same design principle as other squared letters and is available for use in digital text and applications that support the Unicode standard.
