What means
Type 1CC8F, then press Alt+X. In Word 2016 through Microsoft 365, this Unicode-hex shortcut enters the character. If other hexadecimal text touches the code, select just 1CC8F first.
The Robotron Z9001, an East German home computer sold in 1984, assigns this square to byte C3 in its character map. Its fixed-size text cells combined graphic characters into blocky screen pictures. Unicode preserves that exact legacy mapping for round-trip conversion of old character data.
