Meaning
A squared button showing the Japanese kanji 申, read as "mōsu" and used in the compound 申請 (shinsei), meaning application or request. In Japanese-language contexts it labels forms, counters, or links for submitting an application. Outside Japan it appears mainly as a decorative symbol or in designs evoking Japanese signage, and is often confused with other squared kanji buttons. Its meaning is largely limited to Japanese readers; elsewhere it commonly conveys nothing specific, so treat it as ambiguous unless the surrounding text is Japanese.
