What means
It was a pre-drawn game picture.
This character occupied C8 in the Japanese primary character set used by Sharp MZ computers. In 1978, the MZ-80K was released in Japan as a kit. Its display could show 4025 text characters or build an 8050-dot picture from ready-made graphic tiles, letting games move objects without drawing every pixel. This old game graphic survives as an individual text character.
