U+1FBE2 "🯢" Bottom Justified Upper Half White Circle Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🯢

U+1FBE2 "🯢" Bottom Justified Upper Half White Circle is a specialized symbol belonging to the Unicode standard's Symbols for Legacy Computing supplement, designed to represent a half-circle shape where the white (unfilled) upper half sits above a missing or implied lower half, with the bottom edge of the shape aligned to the character's baseline, giving it a "bottom justified" appearance. This glyph was included to support the accurate display of old computer and terminal graphics, where such partial geometric shapes were used for drawing borders, filling areas, or creating visual effects in bitmap and text-based interfaces. Unlike a typical circle or semicircle, this character specifically isolates the upper half as a white form, making it useful for retro computing emulation, pixel art, or technical diagrams requiring precise half-block rendering.
