When to use it
▱ writes U+25B1 (White Parallelogram), a symbol from the Unicode Geometric Shapes block, encoded since Unicode 1.1. Box drawing and block characters only line up in a monospaced font, such as inside <pre> or <code>.
The name comes from the HTML5 list (much of it shared with MathML), so it works in every current browser but not in XML or XHTML served as XML, where the numeric reference is the safe choice.
