What 🬪 means
A six-cell tile for low-resolution text pictures. Its 2×3 mini-grid fills parts 1, 3, 4, and 6; neighboring tiles join into larger block graphics.
The 1974 British Teletext specification defined six-cell picture tiles. A 2019 Unicode proposal says the wider set preserves old graphics and supports text-mode pictures.
