What means
Kaypro computers running CP/M (an operating system) used this 2-by-4 set by 1983 to draw pictures within a text display. This exact pattern appears in the reverse-video set, where light and dark switch places. Unicode preserves it as a text character.

1Why does this character show as a box?
