Braille pattern dots-347

⡌ is a Unicode Braille cell pattern with dot positions 3, 4, and 7; dot 7 extends the six-dot cell. Its reading depends on the language’s Braille code and surrounding cells. The Unicode glyph is visual text; tactile Braille uses raised dots on a surface. Braille grew from Charles Barbier’s raised-dot writing and Louis Braille’s six-dot system for reading and writing by touch; Louis Braille published his system in 1829.

Why does ⡌ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
