Unicode Version 17.0
🬕
U+1FB15 "🬕" Block Sextant-1235 is a symbol in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, designed to represent a specific pattern of filled and empty cells within a 2x3 grid framework, typically used for reconstructing ancient or retro computer terminal graphics. This particular character, identified as sextant 1235, corresponds to a configuration where the lower left, lower right, and middle left cells are filled, while the middle right, upper left, and upper right cells remain empty, allowing for precise pixilated display emulation. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve the visual fidelity of historical computer interfaces and text-based graphics systems that relied on six-cell block elements.
