U+259D "▝" Quadrant Upper Right Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
▝
U+259D "▝" Quadrant Upper Right is a graphical block element from the Box Drawing block, designed as a square shaped glyph that fills only the upper right quarter of its character cell, leaving the other three quadrants empty. It is commonly used in text based graphics, terminal user interfaces, and even pixel art to create partial shading, borders, or rough visual representations of images, especially when combined with other quadrant characters to form a seamless grid. This character, along with its counterparts for other quadrants, provides a simple way to achieve higher resolution in monospaced text environments without requiring additional spacing or special rendering.
