Symbols for Legacy Computingis aUnicode blockcontaining graphic characters that were used for varioushome computersfrom the 1970s and 1980s and inTeletextbroadcasting standards. It includes characters from theAmstrad CPC,MSX,Mattel Aquarius,RISC OS,MouseText,Atari ST,TRS-80 Color Computer,Oric,Texas Instruments TI-99/4A,TRS-80,Minitel,Teletext,ATASCII,PETSCII,ZX80,andZX81character sets.Semigraphicscharacters are also included in the form of new block-shaped characters, line-drawing characters, and 60 "sextant" characters (semigraphic character made up of six smaller blocks).[3][4]

A supplemental block (Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement) was added with Unicode 16.0.
