Negative Circled Square 🟘
🟘 (U+1F7D8) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Negative Circled Square is part of the Symbols family (block: Geometric Shapes Extended). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The NEGATIVE CIRCLED SQUARE depicts the official name NEGATIVE CIRCLED SQUARE. In messaging, it can show negation or prohibition of an action when used with accompanying text. In interface text, it may mark a restricted option, declined choice, or failed check so users understand limits. In notes or documentation, it helps illustrate a negated item or a denied state for clarity. Across apps and platforms, emoji appearance varies in color and style, so the exact look may differ. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and consider a plain-text alternative if color or shape alone may be unclear. Cross‑platform, provide alt text or a label to aid screen readers and maintain consistent meaning in user interfaces.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F7D8 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
