What Is the Upper Right Shadowed White Square Entity?

Remember
Character ❒
Unicode U+2752
Named entity (none)
Hex entity ❒
Decimal ❒
CSS escape \2752
Not the same ❑ (U+2751) · □ (□) · ■ (■)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ❒. Prefer ❒ in HTML markup. For a plain white square see □; for the lower-right shadowed variant see U+2751.
Built with Hex: ❒
Built with Decimal: ❒
Built with CSS: ❒
Typed: ❒
Note ❒ featured item
How It Works
1. Hex:❒ inserts Unicode U+2752 → ❒. Prefer this when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10066 → ❒. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \2752 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ❒.
4. Typed: paste ❒ in a UTF-8 document, or write Note ❒ featured item.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Upper Right Shadowed White Square.
Named
No named entity
Do not invent names like &shadowedsquare;. Use ❒ or ❒ only.
Look-alikes
❒ ≠ ❑ ≠ □
Upper-right shadow is ❒. Lower-right shadow is ❑. Plain outline is □. Check the shadow corner before you publish.

Add context
A lone ❒ may be unclear. Pair it with wording such as “featured” or an accessible name for screen readers.
