Localized, script
#!/bin/bash
# clock2
watch -t -c 'echo; echo; echo; LC_TIME=sl_SI.UTF-8 date "+%H:%M %A" | figlet -tc -f 3x3'

The mental projection of your digital self ↓
3x3 matrix is basically 2^9 possible values (512, that is 0-511), which is not enough for even basic unicode representation, but covers full ascii.
echo "obase=2;511" | bc | fold -w3
111
111
111
And to display them all
#!/bin/bash
# all512
# print all 3x3 matrices from 9 bit decimal number
main () {
a="$( echo "obase=2;$i" | bc )"
printf "%09d" "$a" | fold -w3
echo
}
loop () {
for i in {0..511}; do
echo "$i"
main | sed -r 's/1/█/g'
echo
done
}
# 65, 130 and 260 are all fine.
c="260"
loop | column -e -c "$c"
