What means
It is one tile from an old computer’s running figure.
The Mattel Aquarius character set built game pictures from ready-made tiles. “Frame 1” is one still pose: is the upper half and the matching lower half.
In 1983, an Aquarius review noted that its character graphics could animate the screen. Unicode preserves these tiles as text so Aquarius data can be converted to modern text and back.
