What 塚 means
It is a source-specific form of 塚, meaning a tomb or burial mound.
Its source code is KP1-3BEE in North Korea's KPS 10721-2000; Unicode keeps this form so conversion back to that encoding can preserve the original distinction. In Chinese, 塚 is a variant of 冢; in Japanese it appears in words for mounds and tombs, and in Korean Hanja it means tomb.
Technical and source-specific; use it only when preserving that source distinction matters.
For ordinary text, use 塚; reserve 塚 for the source distinction.

1Why does 塚 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Compatibility Ideographs block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
