What means
It fills six positions in a two-column, four-row cell. Each filled part acts like a pixel.
The 1983 Kaypro 10 guide describes drawing with pixels in character cells. A 2022 Unicode proposal maps this pattern to Kaypro's reverse-video set, where foreground and background swap. Unicode later kept these tiles for data conversion and emulators.
