What means
It is one tile in an eight-cell text graphics grid.
Kaypro character code CE maps to this pattern in its normal set. That code belongs to Kaypro’s old character encoding, not Unicode; converting a saved screen or text file requires the matching character map.
Quadrant mosaics have four cells and sextants six; an octant has eight in two columns and four rows. Unicode keeps these patterns for compatibility and terminal mosaics.

Questions people ask
1Why does a block octant show as a box?
A font without this glyph may show a box or another fallback. The text still contains the same Unicode character.
