What means
It fills cells 1, 3, and 4 in a character-sized tile. An octant is one character space divided into two columns and four rows. A program can arrange these patterns in neighboring positions to draw a larger pixel picture in text mode.
The 1983 Kaypro 10 guide documents this 2 4 graphics system. Kaypro's normal-video (not reversed) byte 8E represents this exact pattern.

Questions people ask
1Why does show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
