U+1FB18 "🬘" Block Sextant-245 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🬘

U+1FB18 "🬘" Block Sextant-245 is a graphic symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplementary block, designed to represent a specific filled octal digit pattern within a six segment sextant grid, where characters in this range function as a form of bitmapped glyph corresponding to punched tape or early computer output. This particular character, Block Sextant 245, indicates that exactly two of the six possible triangular or rectangular segments are filled in a sequence that maps to the octal value 245. It is part of a broader set of 256 characters that encode all possible combinations of the six segments, allowing for compact representation of data or cursor positioning in terminal environments. While primarily intended for historical computing use, such symbols can also serve as decorative or technical diagram elements in modern digital contexts.
