What 🭞 means
It draws a smooth diagonal edge inside a text grid.
Teletext, a British broadcast system developed in the early 1970s, sent pages of text and simple block graphics to television receivers. Its fixed character grid made mosaic tiles a way to form pictures one cell at a time.
A 2019 Unicode proposal maps this shape to position 71 in Teletext G3, the set’s smooth-mosaic and line-drawing tiles. Nearby forms meet to continue a slope or build a larger filled shape.

2Is 🭞 an emoji?
No. It is a text symbol used as a tile in semigraphic drawings, rather than an emoji with vendor artwork.
Why does 🭞 appear as a box?
It usually means the font or renderer lacks a drawing for this character. A font with legacy-symbol support may display it.
