In summary, some thread titles have a capital "B" written in a square because it is discussing a specific topic or brand that starts with the letter "B". The square serves as a way to make the letter stand out and catch the reader's attention. The square is often used as a design element to add visual interest and differentiate the letter from the rest of the text. It does not change the meaning or importance of the thread. Other symbols and letters, such as asterisks, hashtags, and exclamation points, are commonly used in thread titles for emphasis, indicating a specific topic, or making the title more visually appealing. There is no specific font or style used for the square and capital "B", but bold and sans-serif fonts
