Download Square With Upper Left To Lower Right Fill as SVG or PNG — or add a caption to make a labelled icon, badge or sticker.
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.

The black square divided diagonally from upper left to lower right is a geometric pattern used to represent half-filled or partially shaded areas in diagrams, floor plans, and technical drawings. It frequently appears in monochrome grid layouts, logic puzzles, and mapping systems where a simple visual shorthand for a two-state or intermediate condition is needed.
As part of the Geometric Shapes block, this character is employed in text-based interfaces, early computing character sets, and plain-text formatting where a compact, non-emoji symbol conveys spatial orientation or fill status. It may also be used decoratively in typography or as a divider in documents.
