It’s the vertical line that blinks in text boxes and documents when you edit. Other than that I don’t know much about it.

    “Thinned to a line” makes it sound like it was an aesthetic change. The solid block means “a character will go in this spot, and if there is already something in this spot the new character will overwrite it”. And the line means “a character will go in between whatever is to the left and right of this line”. And you might switch between them for various reasons.
