House Symbol
⌂ is the house symbol, commonly used as a simple home or location marker.
U+2302
⌂ (Unicode U+2302) is a compact house/map marker character. It’s handy for signs, labels, and interfaces where you want a clear “home” or “building” indication without extra icons.
House Symbol Meaning
⌂ is a Unicode “HOUSE” symbol (U+2302) that represents a home or building in a minimal, text-friendly form. Because it appears as a map-style icon, it’s often used to label locations, show a “home” point on maps, or indicate addresses and destinations in lightweight UI text. It can also be used in writing and design to suggest shelter, residence, or a starting point—especially when you need something that can be copied, pasted, and displayed consistently across platforms.
Common uses
- •Map labels for “home” or “house” locations in text-based interfaces
- •Address and contact forms (e.g., marking residential addresses)
- •UI navigation cues such as a “home” button label in compact layouts
- •Document icons for sections like “Residential,” “Home,” or “My place”
- •Wayfinding and signage mockups where simple symbols are preferred over images
