Upper One Eighth Block Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Upper One Eighth Block because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2594, which you can use as ▔ in HTML, \2594 in CSS, or type with Alt+9620 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Upper One Eighth Block is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2594 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Upper One Eighth Block has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ▔ or the hex escape ▔.
