What 🔲 means

A framed square that looks like a button or an empty box. It carries no slang meaning; people use it as a checkbox, a bullet, or a building block for designs made of emoji.

Common in aesthetic bios, tables of options and "tag yourself" posts, where each 🔲 marks a box to fill. A row of them can stand for a progress bar that has not started yet.

The twin 🔳 is easy to swap in by accident. Pick one and stick to it, since mixing the two in one list looks uneven.
