U+2596 "" Quadrant Lower Left Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+2596 "" Quadrant Lower Left is a block element symbol that fills the lower left quarter of a character cell, leaving the upper left, upper right, and lower right quadrants empty. It is part of the Block Elements block in Unicode, a series of graphical characters often used in terminal emulators or text-based user interfaces for creating rudimentary pixel art, charts, or smooth shading effects. By combining this character with other quadrant symbols, such as the upper left or lower right blocks, a user can approximate the appearance of a single character cell containing a half-block graphic, enabling finer visual detail in monospaced text environments.
