What means
It fills positions 5, 6, and 7 in an eight-part cell. The cell has two columns and four rows; its name identifies the filled patches. The Kaypro II home computer used this kind of semigraphics—pictures assembled from text characters—because its text display could not set each screen pixel individually. Place octant tiles beside one another and their fills join into a larger image.

1Why does block octant-567 show as a box?
Your font or terminal app may not have this glyph. As of 2026, Unicode octant rendering still varies across terminal software; both the font and app need to handle it.
