What 🬥 means
They list the filled cells. Each tile has two columns and three rows; neighboring sextants join into mosaics.
Teletext, a TV text-and-graphics service, used 23 mosaics in the early 1970s; TRS-80 computers did too. A 2017 Unicode proposal recorded both sources to preserve the graphics for conversion and emulators. The same grid suits terminal pixel art and charts.
Questions people ask
1Why does it show as a box?
