What 🞛 means
It has no fixed meaning on its own; use the sender’s legend.
🞛 is a text symbol, not a ready-made reaction. In a diagram, menu, or decorative line, the author can assign it to a button, target, option, bullet, or ornament. Without a legend, its shape does not tell you what the sender wants.
Its documented computer-font history starts in 1990–1992, when Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow designed the source icon fonts later reorganized as Microsoft Wingdings. A 2011 Unicode proposal identifies its Wingdings 2 source as diamond button 3 (w-2178). Unicode groups 🞛 with and as size-linked forms.
How do I type 🞛?
Use Unicode input; a Wingdings key is only a font mapping.
In Microsoft Word for Windows, type 1F79B and press AltX; in HTML, write 🞛. Both refer to the Unicode character, rather than an old font slot.
Old symbol-font text may become a box if the receiving font lacks the glyph or the document is reformatted without its original font. If exact appearance matters, keep the document’s source font available.
It reads as a designed marker—technical, ornamental, or interface-like—more than a conversational tone.
Do not send it alone when you need the recipient to infer a specific instruction.

Questions people ask
2Why does 🞛 show as a box?
The active font or its fallback lacks this glyph. As of 2026, that is a rendering issue, not another meaning; use a font that includes it.
Can I use 🞛 as an emoji reaction?
No shared reaction reading is attached to it. As of 2026, it has no standard emoji-reaction meaning; use it only when surrounding text, a legend, or a group convention makes its role clear.
