Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2E0B "⸋" Raised Square is a typographical symbol used primarily in historical and scholarly text editing to denote an abbreviation or a scribal insertion, often marking a word or passage that has been added above the line in a manuscript. Unlike a regular square or box, this character is specifically designed to represent a small, elevated square shape, and it belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block, where it serves a niche but precise function for encoding ancient or medieval writing conventions. Its appearance as a standalone raised glyph helps editors and linguists indicate textual features in transcribed documents without relying on formatting tricks.
