Separated Block Sextant-4

It is one part of a low-resolution drawing, not a standalone sign.

Here, “sextant” means a graphics tile divided into six cells, arranged two across and three down; “4” identifies the active cell. Teletext, an information service that sent text pages to television screens, used mosaics like this for simple pictures. Work on teletext began in the UK in the early 1970s.

The separated style leaves a narrow band of background between its block pieces. Early teletext made that spacing a display setting on mosaic characters; the later Unicode repertoire records separated patterns as their own characters, so emulators and older software can preserve them directly.
