U+2311 "⌑" Square Lozenge Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⌑
U+2311 "⌑" Square Lozenge is a typographic symbol resembling a square rotated 45 degrees, typically used as a geometric shape or as a placeholder in technical notation and older computer documentation. It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block, where it is defined specifically as a square lozenge, and it can be employed in diagrams, maps, or as a generic indicator in traditional proofreading and editing marks. Despite its specific name, it is visually distinct from the standard "lozenge" (U+25CA), which is a thinner, more diamond-like shape, making the square lozenge a broader and more solid form.
