What 🖾 means
It marks a frame that has no picture inside.
Each Wingdings drawing had a numbered position. The Wingdings symbol 0163 is this frame with an X, glossed “no frames, no picture.” Wingdings began as three icon fonts designed in 1990 and 1991 under the names Lucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars; Microsoft renamed and released the set in 1992 for computer and interface symbols. Unicode encoded the drawing in 2014 and kept that description.
Is 🖾 an emoji?
Unicode 18.0.0 classifies 🖾 as a symbol, not an emoji.
Its appearance comes from the font used to draw it. If that font lacks the character, your screen may show a generic missing-glyph box; that box signals missing font support, not another version of 🖾.

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.
