Upper Five-Eighths Block

133/249

🮄 fills the upper five-eighths of one character cell, a text slot, with a solid block. Unicode describes it as part of an active window title bar. A 2018 table matches it to Atari ST and Atari 8-bit characters. Its counterpart, the lower five-eighths block , fills the opposite side. A font without its drawing may show a missing-character box.

Text symbol

What 🮄 means

🮄 is the upper five eighths block. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Symbols for Legacy Computing block; this site shelves it under Lines & boxes.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

🮄 is a single code point, U1FB84. In HTML that is 🮄, and in CSS \1FB84.

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.
