The ◩ symbol, officially known as the Square With Upper Left Half Black, is a geometric Unicode character featuring a square bisected diagonally with its top-left section filled. It frequently appears in technical diagrams, user interface design to indicate partial states, or as a distinct bullet point in creative typography.
