Unicode Version 17.0
🈟
U+1F21F "🈟" Squared CJK Unified Ideograph-65B0 is a square-shaped symbol containing the CJK character 新, which means "new" in Chinese and Japanese, and is a member of the "Enclosed Ideographic Supplement" block. This character belongs to a set of squared ideographs used in East Asian contexts, often appearing on signage or buttons in Japanese user interfaces, such as in convenience stores or on smartphones, to denote a "new" option or feature. Its Unicode name explicitly identifies the enclosed ideograph as U+65B0, the standard CJK unified ideograph for "new," and the squared enclosure distinguishes it from plain text, giving it a compact and visually distinct format ideal for limited display spaces like icons or labels.
