What means
It was one cell in a larger chess graphic. Sharp MZ's European alternate display set assigned this tile to D1. Its four pawn quarters fit a 22 grid, making each character cell a building block for one complete image.
Sharp's MZ-700 home computer launched in Japan in October 1982. Unicode preserves this tile as text, helping software recreate or convert old MZ screens.

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.
