Fill color applies to monochrome symbols; multicolor emoji keep their own colors. Add a circle/rounded background to make an app icon or avatar. Exports are self-contained; the SVG embeds the glyph's font. Without a background, exports are transparent.

About the full block symbol

The Full Block is a solid, filled square that occupies the entire width of its character cell. It belongs to the Block Elements block, a set of graphic characters used for creating simple visual patterns, shading, and bar charts in terminal interfaces and text-based displays.

This character is commonly employed in text mode graphics, progress bars, and monochrome diagrams where a dense, opaque fill is needed. It can also serve as a placeholder or redaction block in plain text, offering a uniform, solid rectangle distinct from the hollow or partial block characters in its set.
