What means
Sharp released the MZ-700 in 1982; its pre-drawn character cells could assemble small screen graphics. The European alternate display table maps this face tile to character 93. Unicode preserves such old glyphs so legacy files and emulators can retain them.

The active font may lack this glyph. Cascadia Code added quadrant support in release 2404.03 (2024), but display depends on the font and app in use.

93 was an alternate-table code, not Unicode. On MZ-700, keyboard entry was unavailable; BASIC could display that character bank with POKE.
