U+1FB3A "🬺" Block Sextant-13456 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1FB3A "🬺" Block Sextant-13456 is a graphic symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, designed to represent a specific sextant pattern used in terminal and early computer graphics. This particular glyph displays a filled block covering the top left and bottom right portions of its cell, corresponding to a combination of the six segment positions 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in a standard 2x3 grid layout. It belongs to a set of 64 sextant characters that allow for fine grained pixel style rendering by subdividing a character cell into six triangular or rectangular regions. These characters were historically employed for low resolution bitmap graphics and text mode interfaces, offering a way to create shapes and icons without dedicated graphical hardware.
