I always wondered what a ☐ was called.
Glyph availability
[...]
If an application does not have access to a glyph, the character will usually be shown as the font's .notdef glyph ⟨⟩ which often appears as an empty box, ☐ (nicknamed "tofu" based on the shape), a box with an X in it, ☒, a diamond with a question mark, �, or a box with a question mark in it, ⍰.

the noto font is named after this for having huge glyph coverage and the goal of “no tofu”, and later into roboto on android (for robot noto and Styx song)
