Here's the formula if you'd like to try it yourself:

replaceAll(replaceAll(slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n2") * 4, prop("n2") * 4 + 4) + slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n1") * 4, prop("n1") * 4 + 4) + slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n0") * 4, prop("n0") * 4 + 4) + "\\n" + slice("■□■□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□■□■□", prop("n2") * 4, prop("n2") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□■□■□", prop("n1") * 4, prop("n1") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□■□■□■□", prop("n0") * 4, prop("n0") * 4 + 4) + "\\n" + slice("■□■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n2") * 4, prop("n2") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n1") * 4, prop("n1") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n0") * 4, prop("n0") * 4 + 4) + "\\n" + slice("■□■□□□■□■□□□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□", prop("n2") * 4, prop("n2") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□■□□□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□", prop("n1") * 4, prop("n1") * 4 + 4) + slice("■□■□□□■□■□□□□□■□□□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□■□■□□□■□", prop("n0") * 4, prop("n0") * 4 + 4) + "\\n" + slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n2") * 4, prop("n2") * 4 + 4) + slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n1") * 4, prop("n1") * 4 + 4) + slice("■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□□□■□■■■□■■■□", prop("n0") * 4, prop("n0") * 4 + 4) + "\\n", "□", "⬜"), "■", "⬛")
