Quadrant Upper Left Symbol
▘ is the Quadrant Upper Left block symbol (U+2598) used to represent a partial corner shape.
U+2598
▘ is a small “corner” block character from the Unicode block elements set. It visually marks the upper-left portion of a square, which makes it handy for simple diagrams and UI icons. Use it by copying the character or its escape codes in HTML and code editors.
Quadrant Upper Left Symbol Meaning
The character “▘” is officially named QUADRANT UPPER LEFT (Unicode code point U+2598). Visually, it looks like a square corner that occupies the upper-left part of an imagined box. In practice, designers and writers use it as a compact decorative corner indicator, a way to show partial fills or states, or as an element in ASCII/Unicode art where a full block would be too strong. Because it’s a block element, it renders as a solid glyph that can add structure to text-based layouts, such as labels, bullet-like markers, and simple progress or grid cues.
Common uses
- •Decorative corner marker for headings, cards, or section labels in text layouts
- •Building blocks for Unicode art, especially where only the upper-left quadrant is needed
- •State or status indicator in minimalist UI text (e.g., “in progress” vs. “complete”)
- •Creating simple grid or map annotations where a cell’s corner matters
- •Representing partial selection, masking, or fill levels in plain-text mockups
