What means
is the lower horizontal ruler segment. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block; this site shelves it under Lines & boxes.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
is a single code point, U1CC05. In HTML that is , and in CSS \1CC05.

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.
