Negative Diagonal Diamond

191/249

To reproduce the Atari ST graphic in modern text, use U1FBBF for 🮿, its negative diagonal diamond. The original was one of the compact marks in the computer's screen font for text-mode drawings.

Text symbol

What 🮿 means

Enter U1FBBF with Unicode hex input. The Atari ST's character table assigned this graphic to byte 0x07; that value identifies it only inside the Atari character set.

A 2019 Unicode proposal included graphics from legacy computers and Teletext so programs could preserve and exchange their original character data. This diamond is one of the Atari ST graphics represented in that compatibility work.

Questions people ask

1

Does 🮿 have to fill its character cell?

No. Some fonts draw it short of the character-cell edges, so its margins and apparent size can vary.
