What means
It occupies both positions on the right edge of a four-part cell.
Teletext (text pages broadcast to television sets) and early home computers used block mosaics—small filled tiles—to draw pictures inside text rows. In teletext’s separated mode, background-colored gaps set the tiles apart. The wider family reaches back to teletext developed in the early 1970s and microcomputers built roughly from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. Unicode preserves each tile as text; neighboring characters build the picture.

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.
