What 𞸫 means
It can mark a variable in Arabic-script math. A variable is a letter for a changing quantity. This form follows lam's initial shape but stays fixed instead of joining ordinary Arabic text.
Arabic mathematical letter styles appear in manuscripts and print and have been used for many centuries. Their shapes carry mathematical distinctions; separate digital characters preserve them. The tradition includes Arabic and Persian mathematics.

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.
