U+1F172 "🅲" Negative Squared Latin Capital Letter C Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🅲
U+1F172 "🅲" Negative Squared Latin Capital Letter C is part of the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block, designed as a stylized square containing a white capital letter C on a solid black background. It is primarily intended for use in user interface icons, signage, or playful text formatting where a compact, highlighted letter is needed, though it does not have a widely standardized semantic meaning like the circled letters used in regional indicators. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for consistent cross-platform rendering when representing a squared "C" in digital text, often functioning as a decorative or categorical symbol rather than a core letter.
