Meaning

A solid black square of medium-small size, used as a geometric shape rather than a picture of an object. In conversation it commonly serves as a bullet point, list marker, or decorative divider in text, and can stand in for a checkbox or filled-in selection. It is also used to represent a small block, tile, or pixel-like element in design talk. Because it is abstract, its meaning often depends on surrounding text; it can read as neutral punctuation or as a deliberate visual accent, so context usually determines intent.

Black medium-small square — Approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
