What 🞝 means
Use 🞝 as a visual layout mark: the original symbol-font collection offered geometric shapes for bullets, asterisks, and ornaments. The Wingdings family first appeared in 1992 and also included icons for computer interfaces and familiar objects.
A Unicode proposal in 2011 mapped this exact glyph to the smallest entry in a six-step lozenge scale. Giving it an independent text-character identity in 2014 lets a document carry it without relying on the old symbol-font slot; its position still shows whether it marks a list, ornament, or diagram.
