square with lower left diagonal half black

Square with lower left diagonal half black

19/246

⬕ is a plain geometric symbol: a square cut corner to corner, with the lower-left triangle black and the upper-right white. It carries no fixed meaning; in a diagram, table or list, the nearby key or text says what the dark half stands for. It is one of several half-black squares that differ in where the split runs and which half is dark.

Text symbol

What ⬕ means

Only what the document around it says. Unicode encodes ⬕ as a shape, not a sign with a defined meaning. When you meet it in a chart, a legend, a schedule or a set of icons, look for the key: whoever made it chose what "half dark" means there, such as a partial state or a split between two options.

Its siblings matter more than any single meaning. Unicode has eight half-black squares spread over two blocks: dark top, bottom, left or right, and one for each diagonal corner. If you are copying one into your own document, check that the dark triangle sits bottom-left; a wrong pick flips your picture, and the characters are different for search and fonts. Not every font draws it, so it may show as an empty box or a blank on some devices.

Is ⬕ an emoji?

No. It is a text symbol with no emoji version, so it normally shows as a plain character whose look depends on the font and app, and some fonts can't show it at all.
