U+25A2 "▢" White Square with Rounded Corners Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
▢
U+25A2 "▢" White Square with Rounded Corners is a typographic symbol that depicts an outlined square with softened, curved corners, often used in user interface design, diagrams, or text-based layouts to represent an empty checkbox, a placeholder for an object, or a generic container shape. Its open, white interior distinguishes it from solid forms, and it belongs to the Unicode block "Geometric Shapes," which provides standard symbols for digital and printed communication. This character is particularly useful for visually indicating selectable options, unselected states, or areas where content can be added, and its rounded corners give it a softer, more approachable appearance compared to a standard square.
