The ✑ White Nib symbol represents the outlined metal tip of a traditional fountain pen or dip pen. Originally included in the Dingbats Unicode block, it serves as a classic typographical ornament to indicate writing, authorship, or signing a document. Today, it frequently appears as a decorative bullet point in digital typesetting or as an elegant icon for edit and signature fields.
