Upper Right Block Diagonal, Upper Centre to Lower Right

It is a diagonal tile for text graphics.

One character cell carries a small filled pattern. Neighboring cells can turn patterns like this into a picture, divider, chart, or game screen. This is semigraphics: drawing with character cells instead of separate images.

The technique predates Unicode. Teletext, a television information service, used mosaic cells split into 2 columns and 3 rows for simple broadcast graphics in the early 1970s. Related character-cell graphics were used on early home computers from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. The same principle makes this kind of diagonal a building block for text art.

Why does 🭦 look different or disappear?

A font or terminal may lack a usable glyph.

This is a display issue. Many ordinary fonts lack designs for legacy-computing characters; some terminal emulators draw these symbols themselves and keep adjacent tiles aligned. As of 2026, support still varies between emulators. A blank or replacement box means the app cannot show the design, not that the character changed.

How to type 🭦?

Use Unicode input in the editor or terminal.

For an editor, code, or terminal, use that environment's Unicode entry method; the shortcut depends on the operating system and app. Typing and display are separate: an app can accept the character while its chosen font shows a missing-glyph box.
