What means
It is a Kaypro-style semigraphic tile. The digits identify its four filled cells in a two-column, four-row grid.
Kaypro computers used these blocks to draw without addressing individual screen pixels: software switched small regions of character cells on or off, then joined cells into images and borders. The same octant grid can serve as pseudo-pixels in terminal art.
