What means
It's a Kaypro drawing tile with cells 4, 7, and 8 filled.
The suffix 478 identifies three of eight positions in its two-column, four-row grid.
A Kaypro 10 guide from 1983 documents the set: software used these blocks like plotted dots in text drawings.
Why does look like a box?
The active font may not include this glyph.
When an app's active font lacks the character, it may show a missing-glyph box. That fallback doesn't show the tile's shape.

Questions people ask
1Why does show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 16.0 (2024), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
