0x25F4

0x25F4 refers to the Unicode code point U+25F4, which is part of the Geometric Shapes block in the Unicode standard. This code point represents a geometric square symbol and is used in text encoding to reference that glyph across fonts and platforms.

In terms of appearance, U+25F4 is typically rendered as a filled black square. However, the exact visual result can vary depending on the font, rendering engine, and device. Some fonts may render it with slightly rounded corners or different stroke thickness, while others may present a more perfectly square form. As with many symbols in Unicode, the character’s shape is largely a function of font design.

Encoding and representation details: U+25F4 is within the Basic Multilingual Plane, so it is represented in UTF-8 as the three-byte sequence 0xE2 0x97 0xB4. In UTF-16, it is encoded as 0x25F4. In plain text streams, it is usually treated as a single-character symbol with the general category “So” (Symbol, Other) in Unicode’s data taxonomy.

Usage and context: The character is used in situations requiring a geometric square glyph, such as diagrams, bullet-like symbols, user interface elements, or schematic representations. Its use is largely dependent on font availability and rendering capabilities of software.

Related symbols: Other square and rectangular geometric symbols in the same Unicode block include U+25A0 (black square), U+25A1 (white square), and related variants across code points in the 25xx range.
