0x25A8

0x25A8 refers to the hexadecimal Unicode code point U+25A8, a character in the Geometric Shapes block. The symbol represents a geometric form and is typically rendered as a solid square in many fonts, though the exact appearance depends on the typeface and rendering system. In Unicode terminology, it is classified as a symbol (So) and does not have an inherent semantic value beyond its geometric shape; its meaning is largely determined by context and font.

Encoding and rendering details: In UTF-8, U+25A8 is encoded as E2 96 A8. In HTML you can display it with the numeric character reference ▨ or ▨; many programming environments support a Unicode escape such as \u25A8. Rendering may vary across platforms, with some fonts showing a perfectly filled square and others presenting slight stylistic variations.

Usage and context: 0x25A8 is mainly used as a decorative or technical symbol rather than a standardized emoji or control character. It appears in typography, illustration, and UI mockups as a geometric marker or placeholder. Because Unicode assigns no universal semantics to this specific glyph, its interpretation is context-dependent and relies on the surrounding text or design conventions.

Related characters and blocks: It sits within the Geometric Shapes block (U+25A0 to U+25FF), which also includes other square and shape symbols such as U+25A0 BLACK SQUARE and U+25A1 WHITE SQUARE. The block is commonly used for visual symbols in documents and interfaces.
