What 𞺁 means
It marks a variable in Arabic mathematical writing.
The ordinary Arabic letter ب is called beh; this character uses that letter in a distinct mathematical style. A formula determines which quantity the variable stands for, so the glyph alone does not name one fixed number or idea.
Arabic mathematical letter styles appear in manuscripts, manuals, and traditional print over centuries, across traditions that use Arabic-based scripts, including Arabic and Persian. Looping is one established style, and these visual distinctions help keep mathematical symbols distinct. Unlike ordinary Arabic letters, this form does not change to join neighboring text.
Specialist math notation: it belongs in a formula, not ordinary Arabic prose.

1Why does 𞺁 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.
