What 𜵦 means

A cell-sized patch for text-mode pictures.

An octant is one of eight small cells in a character space; its digits identify the filled positions. A 1983 guide for the Kaypro 10 personal computer describes this 2×4 graphics grid. Unicode’s legacy mapping matches this exact tile to Kaypro’s reverse-video character code C5; reverse video swaps light and dark.

The same grid still makes terminal art: a Go image renderer documented in 2026 turns picture pixels into octant characters.

Questions people ask

Why does it show as a box?

It can be a font-coverage issue: as of 2026, your system font may not include this newer character, so the app may show a missing-glyph box. Even supporting fonts can draw its cell edges differently; Unicode does not prescribe one reference shape.
