History & usage: The character depicts WHITE SQUARE WITH RIGHTWARDS TICK. In its name, token types include a shape token (WHITE SQUARE) and a mark token (RIGHTWARDS TICK) that functions as a sign or indicator. In general terms, such tokens signal how symbols relate to layout and meaning: a shaped element provides a visual unit, while a mark or accent denotes a status or action.

Usage contexts include: 1) in dictionaries, grammars, and educational primers, where the symbol serves as a labeled example of a pictorial square with a directional marker to illustrate symbolic notation; 2) in scholarly editions and archival transcription, where it marks a checked item or a verification symbol within annotated text; 3) in typographic revivals and specimen books of the Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A block, to document historic signs used in specialized notation. The symbol can appear in teaching materials about symbolic lists and checklists, and in accessible representations across platforms and screen readers.
