Block Octant-2467

𜵛 is a text-graphics tile with four of eight cells filled. Kaypro computers used these patterns as pixels; neighboring octants can form terminal mosaics.

Text symbol

What 𜵛 means

It marks cells 2, 4, 6, and 7 in a two-column, four-row tile.

A Kaypro guide from 1983 shows its 24 pixel cells. A 2021 Unicode proposal maps this mask to Kaypro code EA in reverse video (light and dark swapped).

Neighboring tiles align in fixed-width rows to build terminal mosaics.

Usually a missing-glyph problem. The font or app lacks this glyph; text can still contain it. A supporting font shows the tile.
