Separated Block Sextant-136

624/686

𜹵 is a separated 23 mosaic tile: three filled cells with background gaps around them. Teletext graphics used mosaics to draw simple pictures on TV information pages. Unicode later gave separated forms distinct characters so existing software could preserve them.

Text symbol

What 𜹵 means

It fills the top-left, middle-left, and bottom-right cells.

Teletext was a UK television information service that began in the early 1970s, carrying text pages and simple block graphics over analog TV.

Originally, a display mode left background gaps around each mosaic block. A 2021 Unicode proposal called for distinct characters so emulators could reproduce this look and existing software could preserve private-use codes—slots whose meanings are assigned by individual apps.

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.
