U+2BD0 "⯐" Square Position Indicator Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2BD0 "⯐" Square Position Indicator is a typographic symbol encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, intended to represent a general purpose marker for indicating a specific location or square on a grid, map, or diagram. It visually consists of a solid square with a smaller empty square inside, creating a bold, compact glyph that functions similarly to a bullet or placeholder in technical documentation, layout designs, or coordinate systems. Unlike more common characters such as the filled square U+25A0 or the open square U+25A1, this indicator specifically conveys a sense of positioning or selection within a defined area, making it useful for forms, schematics, or interfaces where clear spatial reference is needed. Though relatively obscure, it provides a precise and unambiguous way to highlight a point of interest in text based or tabular environments.
