Some characters exist in both forms. ♈ (U+2648) is a text symbol; add the invisible emoji selector U+FE0F and it becomes the emoji ♈️ on most phones.

Tap a symbol and it is copied. To copy several at once, turn on Collect, tap them in order and press Copy all in the bar at the bottom. Your recent symbols appear above the grid next time.

Why do some zodiac show as boxes?

A box means your device has no font for that character. The oldest symbols here date from Unicode 1.1 (1993) and work everywhere; the newest come from Unicode 11.0 (2018) and need a recent system update.
