U+26DD "" Squared Saltire is a typographic symbol that depicts an X-shaped cross, known as a saltire, enclosed within a square boundary. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block of the Unicode standard and is often used in cartography and diagramming to denote a location or a point of interest, or more broadly as a placeholder or marker in various technical and symbolic contexts. The design resembles a St. Andrew's cross or a checkmark's negative space, and its specific meaning can vary depending on the application, though it generally conveys a sense of negation, cancellation, or a directional indicator within a defined area.
