U+1FB01 "🬁" Block Sextant-2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🬁
U+1FB01 "🬁" Block Sextant-2 is a graphical symbol encoded in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, specifically designed for representing the patterns of a sextant, an instrument historically used in navigation, or for creating block-based diagrams and retro computing graphics. This character is part of a set that visually depicts all possible combinations of six triangular segments arranged in a rectangular block, often used in terminal emulators, text-based user interfaces, or pixel art where precise spatial segmentation of a character cell is needed. Its inclusion in Unicode aims to preserve and support the display of vintage computer graphics and specialized notation systems.
