Meaning

A squared button showing the katakana characters ココ, read as "koko," meaning "here" in Japanese. It commonly marks a location on maps, signs, or interfaces, indicating a current position or a designated spot. In conversation it can convey "here" or "this place," often in playful or Japan-themed contexts. It is also used decoratively where Japanese text styling is wanted. Because it is a Japanese-language label, its meaning may be unclear to those who do not read katakana, and it is sometimes confused with other squared katakana buttons.
