What means
It draws one tile in low-resolution text graphics.
An octant splits a character cell into eight blocks, two across and four down; 13568 lists the five lit cells.
Kaypro's 1983 guide describes these 24 graphics cells; Unicode's 2021 supplement maps this tile to normal-mode byte FA. Side by side, the tiles build larger pictures.

1Why does it show as a box on my screen?
A box usually means the chosen font or app lacks a drawable glyph. The text can still contain this character; display depends on font support.
