Black & White Characters

While not a formal property in the Unicode Standard, many pairs of characters can be thought of as representing “black” (i.e. solid/filled) and “white” (i.e. hollow/outlined) versions of the same basic symbol. This enumeration is entirely subjective and serves little practical purpose.
