upper seven eighths block

Upper Seven Eighths Block

🮆 fills seven eighths of a text cell from the top, leaving a slim gap below. Early computers used block fills like this to draw rough pictures in a text grid. A legacy mapping places it at OS A4 in the graphic-character set of Ohio Scientific, an early computer maker; the company described that set in a 1978 journal.

What 🮆 means

🮆 is the upper seven eighths block. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Symbols for Legacy Computing block; this site shelves it under Lines & boxes.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

🮆 is a single code point, U+1FB86. In HTML that is 🮆, and in CSS \1FB86.
