What 𞸰 means
It names a mathematical letter based on feh. Arabic mathematical alphabets grew from Arabic letter forms used in manuscripts and print for centuries. They appear in math written in Arabic and Persian, expanding its visual alphabet like italics and bold in Latin math. In ordinary Arabic, feh takes this initial shape at the start of a joined word and changes elsewhere; 𞸰 fixes it as a separate math character. NFKC text cleanup can reduce it to ordinary ف, losing the distinction.

1Why does 𞸰 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.
