About the quadrant upper left and lower right symbol

This character is used in text-mode user interfaces and terminal graphics to fill a square block with two contrasting halves: the upper-left quadrant is filled and the lower-right quadrant is filled, leaving the other two quadrants empty. It belongs to a set of block-drawing characters that allowed early computers and terminals to create simple visual patterns, progress bars, and shaded areas without bitmap images. While rarely needed in modern graphical environments, it remains available in Unicode for representing legacy display formats or for constructing pixel-like glyphs in plain text.
