Octant characters originate from an upcoming Unicode block called [https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21235r-terminals-supplement.pdf Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement]. In theory, these characters should allow for up to 256 total combinations. However, not all combinations are present in this block since a small portion are duplicates of already existing characters including but not limited to whitespace, bottom half block, top half block, left half block, right half block, and full block. | Octant characters originate from an upcoming Unicode block called [https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21235r-terminals-supplement.pdf Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement].
