U+1FB23 "🬣" Block Sextant-136 is a symbol in the Symbols for Legacy Computing block, representing a specific pattern used in early digital graphics and terminal displays. This character belongs to a set of 136 sextant-like block elements, which are derived from historical methods of creating raster graphics by dividing a rectangular cell into six triangular segments. The "136" in its name refers to the specific binary pattern of filled and empty sextants within the character's grid, where each of the six triangles can be either black or white, producing a distinct visual configuration. It is primarily used for retro computing emulation, technical documentation of older display systems, and precise text-based graphic rendering.
