What means
One top tile from a two-part runner pose.
The Mattel Aquarius used a fixed character grid for game pictures. In 1983, its graphic characters could make low-resolution animation. This is the upper tile of one left-facing pose.
In the original grid, the matching lower tile sat in the next row; a second pair changed the pose to suggest movement. In ordinary text, this glyph takes one slot, so the figure appears cropped.

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.
