Overlapping Black Squares Symbol Meaning
⮼ is a Unicode character categorized as an “Arrows” symbol. Visually, it resembles overlapping black blocks that point like a directional marker, making it useful when you want a bold, non-typographic arrow cue without using a full arrow glyph. People commonly use it as a decorative direction indicator in headings, badges, buttons, and menu items, or to add a strong visual rhythm to lists. Because it’s not a standard text word, it’s often treated as a visual symbol rather than a semantic letter—best for emphasis, navigation cues, or styling accents in layouts where you want a heavy, graphic feel.
