'''Symbols for Legacy Computing'''('''SLC''') are a set of Unicode symbols that aren't supported on most systems. OWOT added the original "Symbols for Legacy Computing" Unicode block on October 7th, 2022, with the supplemental Unicode block following on November 7th of the same year.

Among other things, SLC ~~characters~~ can be used to make smoother shapes, or create the illusion of 3D objects when used in conjunction with the ability to change cell background colors. They have also been a valuable asset for scripters trying to make photorealistic [[Image Paster|image pasters]].

[[Art|Artists]] such as [[JRT]], [[AndreiXYZ]], [[Jan soweli Asike|Fox]], [[Placeholder|Place_holdrr]] and [[Polonez]] have taken great advantage of SLC ever since its introduction to OWOT.
