U+2583 "▃" Lower Three Eighths Block Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
▃
U+2583 "▃" Lower Three Eighths Block is a graphic symbol designed for text based visual representations where precise fractional shading is needed, filling the lower 37.5 percent of its character cell from the bottom. It belongs to the Block Elements set, which includes a series of progressively taller partial blocks ranging from one eighth to seven eighths of the full cell height, allowing for the creation of smooth gradients, bar charts, or progress indicators in plain text environments. This specific block, like its counterparts, has no semantic meaning but serves a purely visual function in terminal emulators, coding interfaces, and monospaced text displays.
