Large Type Piece Stem with Left Crossbar

𜸶 is a stroke fragment for assembling oversized letters, not a whole letter. HP 2640 and 2620 text terminals used pieces like it to display headline-size text inside the screen’s regular rows and columns.

Text symbol

What 𜸶 means

To build enlarged letters from stroke pieces. HP text terminals had this large-type set by 1979; an HP 2624A terminal manual illustrates it in 1980. Programs joined the pieces in ordinary text cells, making headline letters large without stretching a whole line.
