What means
It is one cell-sized piece of a picture. Kaypro's 24 pixel grid made each character cell a tiny drawing surface. This pattern lights parts 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8.
In 1984, Kaypro II graphics used bytes (stored numbers) to switch pixels within each cell. Its normal character set assigned this pattern to F9.
