U+26BB
The ⚻ symbol is known in Unicode as QUINCUNX (U+26BB). It’s often used to suggest a spaced arrangement or simple decorative mark. Use it in headings, icons, and typographic details.
Quincunx Symbol Meaning
The ⚻ character is named QUINCUNX and represents a quincunx-style arrangement: five points arranged with one at the center and four around it, commonly described as evenly spaced. In practice, the symbol is used more for its visual “five-point spacing” impression than for a specific word or phrase. You may see it in decorative headings, badges, section markers, or UI embellishments where a compact emblem is helpful. It can also work as a typographic separator when you want something more distinctive than a standard bullet or dot.

- •Icon-like embellishment in menus, tabs, or tooltips
