What means
It's one tile of a larger bishop picture. In the early 1980s, Sharp MZ's European character set split the bishop image into four screen cells; this was its upper-right tile. The display-table code was CA. On the MZ-700, the extra character set couldn't be typed at the keyboard; BASIC's POKE command wrote the characters into screen memory.
