U+1F202 "πŸˆ‚" Squared Katakana Sa is a symbol within the Enclosed Ideographic Supplement block, representing the Japanese katakana syllable "sa" (γ‚΅) enclosed within a square frame. This character is classified as an "other symbol" and is frequently used in Japanese signage and commercial contexts, particularly to denote "service" or "serving" as a shorthand for the word "service" (ァービス, sābisu), often appearing in restaurant or retail environments. It also carries a secondary, informal meaning on social media, where its resemblance to a piece of sushi has led to its use as a playful food emoji.
