The world is built out of tiles, which consist of a sigil and
foreground / background colors. A sigil is a simple ASCII character.

There is a limited amount of characters which are allowed as tiles at the
moment, a subset of which are passable (can be traversed by a player).

See the list of sigils below. It can also be found inside sector7557 by invoking /legend.

It is likely that the amount of sigils will be expanded in future patches.
