U+1CEB0 "𜺰" Horizontal Zigzag Line Unicode Character

U+1CEB0 "𜺰" Horizontal Zigzag Line is a relatively new addition to the standard, having been introduced in Unicode Version 16.0 as part of the "Symbols for Legacy Computing" block. This character represents a continuous horizontal zigzag line, likely intended for use in recreating antique computer graphics, terminal displays, or data visualization contexts where such a pattern was historically employed to denote alternating signals or noise. Its visual design consists of a repeated back and forth angular stroke, distinguishing it from other line characters like the vertical zigzag or simple dashes, and its inclusion aids in the accurate digital preservation of early computing and text based graphical formats.
