Black Parallelogram

Black Parallelogram is a basic geometric shape used as a bullet point, status indicator, rating marker, or simple visual accent in plain text, chat, and lightweight UI design.

Unicode block: Geometric Shapes (U+25A0–U+25FF). This block standardizes basic geometric shapes — squares, circles, triangles, diamonds — as plain-text characters, useful anywhere a simple visual marker is needed without loading an image.

At Unicode code point U+25B0 (decimal 9648), Black Parallelogram is the 17th of 96 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: Filled vs. outlined versions of the same shape (■ vs □) often carry an implied meaning like "selected" vs "unselected" — check for a matching pair if you need that distinction.
