Square With Right Half Black Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Square With Right Half Black because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+25E8, which you can use as ◨ in HTML, \25E8 in CSS, or type with Alt+9704 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Square With Right Half Black is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+25E8 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript.
