U+1FB2F "🬯" Block Sextant-256 is a symbol belonging to the Symbols for Legacy Computing supplement block, specifically part of the Sextant-256 subrange which encodes a set of 256 distinct graphical block patterns used in vintage computing and terminal graphics. This particular glyph represents a specific combination of filled and empty segments within a sextant cell, a square divided into six triangular or rectangular portions akin to a sixths-based mosaic grid.
