Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+258B "▋" Left Five Eighths Block is a block element that fills the leftmost five eighths of its character cell, leaving the remaining three eighths on the right empty. This specific fraction of a full block, from the set of partial block drawing characters, is commonly used in text based interfaces and terminal graphics to create horizontal bar charts, progress indicators, or visual fill effects where precision finer than a whole character is needed. Its visual appearance is a solid vertical bar that occupies more than half of the cell width, offering a middle ground between the half block and the three quarters block in the smooth progression of eight step shading.
