Squot

Block graphics

Another example divided an 8 × 12 pixel character vertically in two halves and horizontally in three parts, and then assigning "ink" and "background" values to the elements of the matrix in a binary pattern, corresponding to the binary sequence of the position in the font table of a 2 × 3 block mosaic matrix of so-called squots (square dots) or sextants. Less often used versions use a 1 × 6 "matrix", in which case these six "pixels" are sometimes referred to as sixels.
