The ▨ symbol, officially known as the Square with Upper Right to Lower Left Fill, is part of the Unicode Geometric Shapes block. It features a square box filled with parallel diagonal lines running from upper right to lower left, originally designed for technical diagrams, architectural plans, and maps to indicate textured or shaded areas.
