The ascii code is 178 for that symbol: ▓
I think the purpose is for displaying graphic in the DOS screen as last time no GUI interface.
for example

▓░░▓░▓▓▓░▓░▓▓
▓░░▓░▓░░░▓░▓░▓
▓▓▓▓░▓▓░░▓░▓▓
▓░░▓░▓░░░▓░▓
▓░░▓░▓▓▓░▓░▓

I also think that they are come sort of strange character codes that your system is unable to convert in English (thru ACSII OR unicode).
