What means
It began as a fill tile in the Sharp MZ-700 display.
The Sharp MZ-700 appeared in 1982 with a chip that stored a fixed screen shape for each character. Its European character set included ready-made graphic fills beside letters. Unicode later encoded these old screen symbols so text data could move between the original computers and emulator software.

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.
