Comment on Why is there a “small house” in IBM's Code page 437?

I think those symbols were so underutilized, IBM didn't care about cementing their names. It's an ambiguous triangle. Use it as delta. Use it as a house. It doesn't matter because the programmers are the ones that give it true purpose.

This was a fantastic article. The ASCII art alone is worth a click.
