Why do some symbols look like boxes on certain devices?
When a symbol appears as an empty box on your device, it means that device's fonts do not include a visual representation for that Unicode code point. This is more common on older devices or when using very new or obscure Unicode characters. Sticking to widely supported symbols like stars, hearts, and basic decorative characters minimizes this issue.
