U+1FB1E "🬞" Block Sextant-6 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1FB1E "🬞" Block Sextant-6 is part of the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, representing a specific graphical segment used in early computer and terminal interfaces for creating mosaic-like block graphics. This character depicts one of the 64 possible sextant patterns, which divide a square character cell into six triangular sections arranged in a 2x3 grid, with this particular code point corresponding to the sixth combination where all six subdivisions are filled to form a solid rectangular block. Sextant blocks like this one are a higher resolution alternative to the older block element characters and were historically employed in character-based displays and teletext systems to draw more detailed pseudo-graphic imagery and diagrams without requiring actual pixel-based graphics.
