Unicode Version 17.0
➕
U+2795 "➕" Heavy Plus Sign is a bold and thickly drawn version of the standard plus symbol, designed for clear visibility and emphasis in digital text and user interfaces. It belongs to the Dingbats block, a collection of ornamental and typographic symbols, and is often used in contexts such as user interface buttons, notifications, or decorative lists to indicate addition, increase, or positive action. Unlike the thin, mathematical plus sign, this heavy variant functions as a visual icon, commonly employed in social media, messaging apps, and web design to draw attention. Its solid, black appearance ensures high contrast against varied backgrounds, making it a practical choice for both decorative and functional purposes.
