What means
It shades one text cell with vertical stripes. A text cell is one fixed screen slot; repeated fill marks form larger patterns.
The European display table—the computer’s on-screen character list—for Sharp MZ-700/MZ-800 placed it at A2, beside horizontal and crosshatch fills. Unicode’s proposal included such signs for data conversion and emulators.
