Input latin uppercase Emoji
Symbols
A blue square featuring the capital letters A, B, C, and D arranged in a grid. It serves as a visual shorthand for toggling text input to uppercase mode or referencing the Latin alphabet as a whole.
Usage Context
This icon is frequently seen on virtual mobile keyboards to indicate that the user has switched from lowercase or numeric input to capital letters. Outside of interface settings, it is used in casual chats to signal that someone is shouting, making a point, or emphasizing the start of a new topic.
History
Adopted into Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this character draws its design from the standard button interfaces found on early smartphone OS environments, specifically iOS and Android, which utilized these distinct squares to help users navigate text-entry menus.
