Source: Browser Default
U+2610 "☐" Ballot Box is a typographic symbol that represents an empty checkbox or a square box used for marking choices, often in forms, surveys, or printed ballots. It is distinct from similar Unicode characters like the check mark or ballot box with check, as it explicitly indicates an unselected or blank option. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is commonly used in digital documents, web interfaces, and notetaking systems to denote items that have not yet been filled, selected, or confirmed. Its straightforward design ensures compatibility across most fonts and platforms, making it a practical tool for visually structuring lists, tasks, or voting options.
