What means
It is one corner tile in a larger screen drawing.
A 2021 Unicode proposal traces it to the MZ-700’s European alternate display set, a separate collection of screen drawings. The four TV tiles fit in a 22 grid.
The MZ-700 manual says its second screen-symbol set could not be entered from the keyboard. A BASIC program could display its drawings with POKE, a command that writes a value into memory.

Questions people ask
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.
