It fills subdivisions 3 and 8 of a 24 character cell.
The exact pattern maps to code C8 in the Kaypro's normal graphics set. Kaypro was an early personal-computer line. Its 1984 technical manual describes a graphics mode for switching individual screen pixels or drawing lines. In a 24 mosaic, neighboring text cells combine into larger low-resolution pictures.

Questions people ask
1Why does this octant show as a box?
It can. As of 2026, ratatui's octant documentation says an unsupported terminal may show UFFFD, the Unicode replacement character, instead. Check that both the terminal and font support the character.
