In fact we have
U+2581 ▁ e2 96 81 LOWER ONE EIGHTH BLOCK
U+2582 ▂ e2 96 82 LOWER ONE QUARTER BLOCK
U+2583 ▃ e2 96 83 LOWER THREE EIGHTHS BLOCK
U+2584 ▄ e2 96 84 LOWER HALF BLOCK
U+2585 ▅ e2 96 85 LOWER FIVE EIGHTHS BLOCK
U+2586 ▆ e2 96 86 LOWER THREE QUARTERS BLOCK LOWER THREE QUARTER BLOCK
U+2587 ▇ e2 96 87 LOWER SEVEN EIGHTHS BLOCK
But only
U+2580 ▀ e2 96 80 UPPER HALF BLOCK
U+2594 ▔ e2 96 94 UPPER ONE EIGHTH BLOCK
But I really need all symmetric letters.
The question is not "how do it right" but "why" the things such as they are.
P.S. If somebody knows "how" -- write it down too:)
The reason why there isn't a complete set of block drawing characters can be found in Chapter 22 of the Unicode standard:
The Block Elements block (U+2580..U+259F) contains another collection of graphic compatibility characters. [...] These elements were used to create crude graphic displays in terminals or in terminal modes on displays where bit-mapped graphics were unavailable.
The fractional fills do not form a logically complete set but are intended only for backward compatibility.
Because they are compatibility characters, their use is not encouraged.
