U+1CE85 "𜺅" Separated Block Sextant-1356 is a specialized symbol belonging to the Unicode block for "Segmented Sextant" characters, which are used in historical and technical contexts, particularly for representing sextant readings in navigation or astronomy. This specific glyph depicts a pattern of filled and unfilled blocks within a six part circular or rectangular grid, with "1356" referring to the specific combination of segments that are active or separated, allowing it to encode a precise angular or positional value.
