U+1FB00 "🬀" Block Sextant-1 Unicode Character

U+1FB00 "🬀" Block Sextant-1 is part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing supplement block, a collection of glyphs designed to represent bitmap graphics and terminal characters from early computer systems. Specifically, it depicts a single sextant pattern, which is a triangular segment of a square divided into six sectors by three lines (two diagonals and one vertical or horizontal), allowing for fine-grained pixel-like shading in text-mode displays. This character, along with its variants from U+1FB00 to U+1FB3B, was added to Unicode version 13.0 in 2020 to preserve and digitally represent the visual semantics of vintage computing interfaces, such as those found in early home computers and teletext systems.
