U+1FB39 "🬹" Block Sextant-3456 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🬹
U+1FB39 "🬹" Block Sextant-3456 is a symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing block, specifically designed to represent a sextant pattern used in early computer graphics and terminal displays. This character displays a particular combination of filled and empty cells in a three by two grid, corresponding to the lower right quadrant of a sextant, where only the lower left, middle, and lower right positions are shaded. It serves as a building block for recreating bitmap-style graphics and pixel art, particularly in systems that relied on six-cell character grids for text-based imagery.
