This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as closed entry.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+26DD forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
A roadblock is a temporary installation set up to control or block traffic along a road. The reasons for one could be:
Roadworks
Temporary road closure during special events
Police chase
Robbery
Sobriety checkpoint
In peaceful circumstances, they are usually installed by the police or road transport authorities; they are also commonly employed during wars and are usually staffed by heavily armed soldiers in that case. During protests and riots, both police and demonstrators sometimes use roadblocks.
