U+25FD "◽" White Medium Small Square Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
◽
U+25FD "◽" White Medium Small Square is a geometric symbol that represents a small, hollow square, typically rendered with an outline that is open and white on the inside, making it distinct from its filled counterpart in the Unicode block of geometric shapes. It is often used in digital text and user interfaces as a placeholder, a checkbox indicator, or a visual element for organizing data within grids or lists, and its medium small size places it between the larger "White Large Square" (U+2B1C) and the smaller "White Small Square" (U+25AB) in Unicode's size hierarchy.
