Square letters in Unicode
Squared letters 🄰🄱🄲 and dark squared letters 🅰🅱🅲 live in the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement. Some of the dark squares, like 🅰 and 🅱, double as blood type emoji, which is why they can appear in color on phones. Unicode only includes capitals for these sets, so lowercase letters are turned into capitals.
Square symbols
Looking for a box on its own rather than letters inside one? The square symbols above copy in one tap: filled ■ and empty □ squares, checkbox style ❏ and ☐, boxed plus ⊞ and crossed ⊠ squares, and the colored square emoji 🟥 🟦 🟩. More shapes are on the square and shape symbols page.
When to use boxed text
Square text works best in short bursts: a single word, initials or a label. Long sentences in boxes are hard to scan. For other bold looks, see the bubble font generator and the big text generator.
