Upper Three Quarters Block

🮅 fills the top three quarters of the space reserved for one character. It is a block character for text graphics, where cell-sized pieces stand in for pixels; read it as a graphic tile, not a reaction emoji.

What 🮅 means

It fills the cell from the top, leaving its lower quarter empty. A cell is one character’s slot; this block character is a tile in text graphics.

Semigraphics—small filled shapes in character cells, used like pixels—let computers draw without bitmap graphics. The wider legacy set spans home computers (mid-1970s to mid-1980s), Teletext (TV text broadcasts, early 1970s), and French Minitel terminals (1980s). A 2016 note on restoring an MSX home-computer font labels code 197 an upper-three-quarters block.

Unicode preserves these legacy tiles for old-text conversion and emulators. For tiled pictures, a fixed-width font (equal-width characters) keeps rows aligned.

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.
