There are several places that you can enter this character by typing ctrl-backspace, including windows loggon password.
Which character is this and can I use it in a password?
Depends on the control being used. Assuming a regular text box, that’s character code 127 (0x7f), legacy mapping for the DEL control code. Displays as a rectangle since there’s no Unicode glyph for it. This will not necessarily reproduce well, a Rich Edit control will interpret it as a “delete to begin of line” control key. Very unlikely you’ll be able to enter such a password at a web page prompt for example.
