U+1FB2B "🬫" Block Sextant-2346 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🬫

U+1FB2B "🬫" Block Sextant-2346 is a relatively obscure, specialized symbol within the Symbols for Legacy Computing block, representing a specific graphical pattern used for creating blocky, pixelated images in retro computing environments. This particular character is one of many sextant characters, which divide a square into six equal sections via two diagonal and one vertical line, and the number 2346 indicates which of the 64 possible segments are filled, in this case filling the lower-left and lower-right corner areas. Its primary purpose is to allow for detailed, low-resolution graphic display on older text-based systems, where such characters could be combined to form complex pictorial representations without dedicated graphics hardware.
