What means
It is one tile in a picture made on a text screen.
A character cell is one slot on a computer screen. It holds two columns by four rows; the digits name the filled parts, called octants.
The 1983 Kaypro 10 User's Guide describes eight-part pixel graphics. Unicode's 2021 proposal maps this pattern to Kaypro's normal F4 slot.

1Why does this character show as a box?
Your font may lack the glyph, or a terminal may not support the octant range. As of 2026, terminal support varies.
