| Square lozenge ("pillow") | < | --On most systems the square lozenge is tiny and its shape is subtle. Therefore we show it extra big here and with a list of possibly clearer fonts. Unfortunately not every font is suitable, because if its square lozenge is too large, it won't fit. And we cannot reduce its size either, because if the reader has none of the suggested fonts, it would probably display tiny.-->⌑ | U+2311 |
