U+1FB0A "🬊" Block Sextant-124 is part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing block, representing a specific graphic pattern used in vintage computer and terminal displays. This glyph belongs to a set of 256 "sextant" block characters, which divide a rectangular cell into six triangular sections to form various filled and unfilled patterns. The number 124 in its name indicates the specific combination of active triangles within the cell, where each triangle can be independently filled based on a six-bit binary mapping.
