U+1FB33 "🬳" Block Sextant-2356 Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🬳

U+1FB33 "🬳" Block Sextant-2356 is a symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, representing a specific pattern used in early computer graphics and terminal displays to render visual data via a grid of six cells arranged in a 2x3 block. This particular sextant pattern, known as Block Sextant-2356, fills four of the six cells in a configuration that corresponds to the top left, top middle, top right, and bottom right positions, leaving the bottom left and bottom middle cells empty. It was historically employed in text mode interfaces and character-based graphics systems to create more detailed pixelated images by combining such partial block characters, allowing for higher resolution within the constraints of monospaced character grids.
