What means
In some Pegon manuscripts, it marks the voiced /g/ sound. This two-dot kaf is a local-language spelling choice, not an Arabic pronunciation. A related keheh form may look similar at the start or middle of a word, but differs when written alone or at the end.
Pegon adapts Arabic script to write local languages such as Javanese, Sundanese, and Madurese. It developed in Islamic teaching and later appeared in literature, documents, and letters. An early dated example is a 1623 manuscript with Javanese written between the lines.
It places the text in a Pegon, local-language Islamic learning or writing context.
In Pegon, this can mark /g/, not the usual Arabic kaf sound /k/.

1Why does show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
