What ⡐ means
⡐ is the braille pattern dots-57. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Braille Patterns block; this site shelves it under Lines & boxes.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
⡐ is a single code point, U2850. In HTML that is ⡐, and in CSS \2850.

Questions people ask
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.
