Separated Block Sextant-35

𜹤 is a text-graphics tile: two filled cells, middle-left and bottom-left, in a 2-by-3 grid. Beside other block tiles, it helps build small pictures and interface graphics. Its narrow gaps preserve the separated-graphics style of British Teletext.

What 𜹤 means

The digits name the filled positions in the six-cell tile. A sextant is a mosaic tile with two columns and three rows; 3 is middle-left, 5 bottom-left. Neighboring tiles work like pixels, making larger pictures and interface graphics on a text grid.

Teletext was a British television text service developed in the early 1970s, sending pages of words and simple block pictures to TVs. Its mosaic graphics had a separated mode with narrow gaps between cells. The contiguous sextant tiles were accepted into Unicode 13.0; separate forms were added for Teletext emulators and older programs that had assigned them custom character codes.

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.
