🮟

lower left triangular medium shade

Lower-left shaded triangle

🮟 is a medium-shaded triangle filling the lower-left corner of one character-sized square in text drawings. Unicode had encoded its solid counterpart by 1993; 🮟 appeared in a 2019 proposal to preserve graphic sets from home computers of the mid-1970s to mid-1980s and teletext, a TV page service that began in the early 1970s. The proposal aimed to support conversion, emulation, and modern text-mode displays.

Text symbol

What 🮟 means

🮟 is the lower left triangular medium shade. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Symbols for Legacy Computing block; this site shelves it under Lines & boxes.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

🮟 is a single code point, U1FB9F. In HTML that is 🮟, and in CSS \1FB9F.

Questions people ask

Why does 🮟 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
