History & usage: The character depicts SQUARED CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-7121. In messaging, it can signal negation or absence as part of a short idea. In user interfaces, it can mark forbidden actions or unavailable options in a compact form. In design contexts, it can serve as a neutral placeholder for an empty value or a generic symbol when a more specific glyph is not available. Across platforms, color and style vary, so the same emoji may look different in apps and fonts. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning and that the emoji does not replace essential information.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1F21A 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.
