About this emoji

▪️ Black Small Square is an emoji in the Symbols group, geometric subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.6 (2010). Emoji 0.6 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 6.0 in 2010, before emoji had version numbers of their own.

CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords black, geometric, small and square; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.

It is the character ▪ (U+25AA BLACK SMALL SQUARE) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.

Its base character has an HTML name: ▪. On its own the entity may render as a text symbol; follow it with ️ for the emoji style.
