Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Semigraphics" in English language version.
The word "sextant" is used in this document, by analogy with "quadrant"—a term used for certain UCS characters since 1999—to refer to a semigraphics block consisting of six smaller blocks or "cells" arranged in two columns and three rows. In the teletext specification, characters in this group could be displayed either with the cells joined together, as with the existing quadrant characters, or with a narrow space between cells. A teletext emulator could interpret the control character U+001A ("separated graphics") to display space between cells, or U+0019 ("contiguous graphics") to revert to the default, joined appearance
