I used to think so, but I think these are just Braille characters; sixels are a different ANSI mode? Have to look into it more. Here is a more proportional one:

I have a python program now that takes the parts and constructs them line by line no matter how many you have horizontally. hoping to have a Gemini prototype of the game in the next month or so. sooner if I find the time.

Sixel are part of terminal realm and not unicode. The specification comes from DEC and their VT series of terminals. So your terminal need to understand Sixels for it to work.

Request. I am making a dice game but can't find any ASCII dice that I like. has anyone come across just the 6 square faces of a die that looks okay? I want to stack them 3 wide on the screen, so nothing huge. I made my own but they are...not good.
