Unicode Version 17.0
🬷
U+1FB37 "🬷" Block Sextant-2456 is a symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing block, specifically designed to represent a historical graphical element used in early computer and terminal display systems. This character fills the lower left and upper right quadrants of its cell, leaving the other two quadrants empty, and is part of a set that emulates the pixel patterns of monochrome bitmap displays or teletext graphics. Its formal name, Block Sextant, refers to its division of a character cell into six triangular or quadrangular sections, of which this particular variant activates two distinct regions, enabling precise alignment and iconographic construction in retro computing contexts.
