What 𞸭 means
It is Arabic nūn in a dedicated initial math form.
“Initial” is the form of an Arabic letter at a word’s start; joined letters change shape. Arabic-script math gives it a distinct symbol style, like bold or Fraktur (blackletter). This set draws on forms used in manuscripts and print for many centuries. More broadly, the 15th-century mathematician al-Qalasadi used Arabic letters to mark unknown values in equations.
Is 𞸭 ordinary ن?
No; it is a separate math form of the same letter.
Regular ن is used in words; connected text shapes it from its neighbors.
Formal and notation-specific.

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.
