Striped left-pointing triangle

What 𜲀 means

In 2026, press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 1CC80, then press Enter.

The five-digit value is hexadecimal, a code written with digits 0–9 and letters A–F.

What did this triangle do on the Sharp MZ?

It was a ready-made screen graphic on a Sharp home computer.

Sharp's European MZ-700 stored screen shapes and letters in a character ROM, a built-in library programs could use to assemble pictures and game scenes. A German product leaflet from 1983 lists an 80×50-pixel display. A Unicode mapping published in 2021 traces 𜲀 to position 6A in the European alternate set. On MZ-700/800 computers, a bit in display memory selected that second set for each screen cell. Three matching striped tiles point up, right, and down.

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.
