What ⡰ means
Not by itself; a Braille code assigns its reading.
Braille uses two columns of raised dots. A code assigns each cell a letter, number, punctuation mark, or other sign.
How does ⡰ relate to six-dot Braille?
It adds dot 7 to the six-dot pattern .
Earlier raised-print books preceded Braille. Charles Barbier devised a raised-dot military code for reading at night; Louis Braille adapted it into his six-dot system, published in 1829. Later eight-dot codes served Spain's Abreu music notation (recognized in 1855), shorthand for blind stenographers in mid-twentieth-century Austria and West Germany, and computer displays, common by the late 1980s.

1Why 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.
