What 🮜 means
It marks a shaded upper-left triangle in one text cell.
Older computers and teletext used fixed character cells like tiny tiles; these could be combined to draw simple pictures. A Unicode proposal in 2019 grouped 🮜 with characters meant to preserve such legacy graphics.

1Why does 🮜 look different on my screen?
Font support varies. As of 2026, some terminal emulators draw symbols in this block themselves when the selected font lacks them; other apps may show a missing-character box or substitute glyph. The appearance depends on the font and renderer.
