Title: What does this symbol mean?
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 29, 2009, 07:59:40 PM: I've been seeing this symbol floating around on the internet, and have no idea what it stands for. When I google it, it just comes out as 2 question marks.

I'm curious because if you make a post containing that symbol on the Facepunch forums, you get banned for a week. (I like to read the event log, it's like a soap opera)

In other words, it looks like a white box to me.

Yeah, that's why I couldn't do research to figure out what it was.
