What means
It is one tile from an HP large-character set. A 1978 HP terminal manual shows a large character assembled from nine segments. The set was meant for headlines on HP 2620 and 2640 terminals; supplies the square upper-left segment.
The original pieces were entries in a terminal character set. Unicode makes them individual text characters rather than a command that resizes a line.

1Why does show as a box?
The active font probably lacks a drawing for this character. Microsoft added the large-type set to Cascadia Code in April 2024; other fonts may not include it.
