It is character called a Projective and is located at Unicode U+2305, and it represents (Numeric Keypad) Enter Key in the iconography of macOS. In the macOS version of Adobe InDesign, it is pressed to make a column break. On my MacBook Pro, which does not have a full-size keyboard with Numeric keypad on the right side, the work-around is to press Fn+Return. If you want to break to the next frame, add also the Shift key.

And if you are on a MacBook without a numeric keypad, add Fn (lower left corner of the keyboard):

Fn+Shift+Return

I f you have an extended keyboard, it is the “enter” key, at the very right of the numeric keypad.

On the PC, it's Shift+NumPad Enter —

I am assuming the little glyphs in your screen snip represent the same thing in Macspeak. 🙂

Note, if you have not, that the main Return/Enter and the numpad Enter do different things even unshifted; the numpad key defaults to Column Break.

You can remap or co-map nearly all keyboard operations in ID using the Keyboard Shortcuts menu. It can be hard to find the exact command you want, but they're all there.
