U+1FBE0 "🯠" Top Justified Lower Half White Circle Unicode Character

U+1FBE0 "🯠" Top Justified Lower Half White Circle is a symbol from the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, representing a pixel or cell that is a white half circle aligned to the top of its character bounding box, with the lower half filled in to create the shape. It is primarily used in technical contexts for recreating retro computer graphics, terminal displays, or bitmap fonts, where precise placement of partial geometric shapes is needed for drawing interfaces or pixel art. This character’s design ensures it can be displayed as a distinct glyph alongside other block and half block characters, preserving the visual logic of older computing systems.
