What means
The 2640 set built each big letter from joined pieces.
An HP character-set guide dated October 1975 lists this piece in the optional Large Character Set for 2640 terminals.
Each large letter occupied a 3-by-3 grid of ordinary screen positions, with neighboring shapes touching edge to edge. This one supplies a lower-left stroke and an upper-left arc. Unicode keeps the pieces as individual text characters, so a suitable font can build the same large lettering in a plain-text file.
