What 🆢 means
It marks a surround-sound format. NHK explored 22.2 for Super Hi-Vision around the end of the 20th century; the system was presented publicly in Japan in 2005. Its 22 channels sit in three height layers, plus two low-frequency-effects (LFE) channels for bass.
Japan proposed 🆢 with ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) program-guide labels in 2015 so listings could pass between devices as standard text. Related squares and mark 5.1- and 7.1-channel layouts.
