What means
It is the second pose of a game alien. Sharp's MZ-700 home computer went on sale in 1982. Its built-in character chip held ready-made game art. In 1983, the British magazine Personal Computer World said Knights designed the expanded 512-character set and thanked Sharp staff. Unicode's 2021 proposal supplied names because old computer charts often lacked labels.

A blank box means the active font lacks a drawing for this character. Use a font that includes characters from the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement; the text can still be intact.
