U+1CEA8 "" Left Half Upper One Quarter Block Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1CEA8 "" Left Half Upper One Quarter Block is a graphical symbol belonging to the Symbols for Legacy Computing supplement, designed for representing older computer graphics, text mode displays, or terminal output. It depicts a solid block that occupies the left half of a character cell, specifically filling the upper quarter of that left half, meaning it covers only the top left quadrant of the character space. This character can be combined with other block elements to create precise pixel‑level patterns or partial shading in retro‑computing contexts, digital art, or data visualization that relies on block‑based character grids.
