About the Lozenge Symbol

Last reviewed on August 3, 2026

The Lozenge symbol (◊) is one of the aesthetic symbols characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It is one of the decorative ornament glyphs scattered across the Dingbats and Miscellaneous Symbols blocks. These characters are designed to be read as ornaments rather than as representations of objects — they frame text, divide sections, and add visual texture.

Where this character is used

Decorative glyphs work best when they frame, not overwhelm, the content. A common pattern is one ornament before and one after a short heading; stacking them produces a flourish; mixing types reads as a deliberate composition. Avoid using more than two or three different ornaments in a single piece — the visual noise overtakes the text.

Code references

In Unicode, Lozenge sits at code point U+25CA. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ◊; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.

Rendering and font support

Some decorative ornaments render at heading weight even when used inline, which can disturb body-text spacing. Test in the actual context where the glyph will appear — what reads well at 32px in a heading may overpower a 14px caption.
