This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as transgender and alchemical symbol for iron or crocus of iron.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+26A6 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Over the course of its history, the LGBTQ community has adopted certain symbols for self-identification to demonstrate unity, pride, shared values, and allegiance to one another.
