Meaning
A plain black hole in a surface. It represents an opening or a gap, but its dominant use is figurative and self-deprecating: the hole you wish would swallow you after an embarrassing moment. It also marks gaps in knowledge, plot holes, and things that have vanished without trace. Its blankness makes it surprisingly versatile — it is an absence you can point at.
