Frequently asked questions
Can I use these to build a checklist in plain text?
Yes — □ works well as an unchecked box and ■ or ▪ as a checked/filled one in a plain-text checklist, since real checkbox widgets aren't available in most bios, chat apps or notes fields.
Why are there so many sizes of the same square?
Unicode defines separate large (■ □) and small (▪ ▫) square characters rather than one square that scales — pick the size that matches the rest of your text, since these don't resize the way an image would.
