The ◧ symbol, officially known as the Square with Left Half Black, is a geometric character featuring a vertically divided square where the left side is shaded and the right side is empty. In typography and UI design, it is frequently used to represent partial progress, contrast toggles, or binary states. Originating from the Unicode Geometric Shapes block, it also serves as a visual marker in technical diagrams to denote specific data phases or visual patterns.
