Where the ◼️ emoji is used

The ◼️ smiley copies in one tap and pastes into a chat as text, not as a picture: it is a Unicode symbol, so it works the same in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and in a post caption. Every platform draws emoji its own way — below you can see how black medium square is drawn in the open Noto, OpenMoji and Twemoji sets.
