What 🭴 means

A six-eighths fill tile for text graphics.

Commodore home computers such as the PET, VIC-20, C64 and C128 used it in block-based screen graphics. A 2019 Unicode mapping records those matches; adjacent fixed-width cells could build larger pictures.

Questions people ask

Why does 🭴 show as a box in my terminal?

The font may lack its glyph. As of September 2026, some terminal emulators draw these blocks themselves; others rely on the font and may show a missing-character box.
