separated block sextant-1356

Separated Six-Cell Mosaic 1356

640/686

𜺅 fills positions 1, 3, 5, and 6 in a two-column, three-row tile, leaving narrow gaps between the blocks. UK teletext, a TV information service developed in the early 1970s, used six-cell mosaics; its September 1976 specification included joined and separated display modes. A 2021 Unicode proposal cited teletext emulation and compatibility with older software using custom code mappings as reasons to encode the separated forms.

Text symbol

What 𜺅 means

𜺅 is the separated block sextant-1356. 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 Supplement 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, U1CE85. In HTML that is 𜺅, and in CSS \1CE85.

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.
