upper right quadrant chess knight

Upper Right Quadrant Chess Knight

It is the upper-right tile of a chess-knight drawing from Sharp MZ's European display character set. The full knight used four screen characters in a 2×2 layout, so this glyph is one corner rather than a complete piece. Unicode preserved the old screen graphic as text for compatibility; your font still needs its glyph.

What 𜳋 means

One corner of a chess knight split across four character cells.

Sharp MZ home computers had a European alternate character set, a roster of extra display symbols for that version of the machines. This glyph is the upper-right quarter of the knight picture; its matching corners fit together in a 2×2 grid.

The split let a text screen assemble a larger picture from ordinary character cells. Unicode preserves the old screen graphic as text for compatibility.

Why does the Sharp MZ knight show as a box?

The font may not contain this glyph.

Unicode characters are not included in every font. Cascadia Code added support for quadrant and other legacy-computing symbols in release 2404.03; a different font may still lack this one.

A niche legacy-computing graphic, meant to be read as one tile in a small on-screen picture.

A box usually means the font lacks this glyph; the text can still contain the right character.

Why does 𜳋 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
