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?

It is recent: Unicode added it in version 13.0 (2020), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
