What ࣌ means
Follow it as a pause; do not say it aloud.
Moroccan pause marks served to teach recitation and organize multiple readings before al-Habti’s formal system, associated with the 10th century AH. Eastern Qur’anic recitation also uses Sajawandi notation, a separate graded set of pause signs.
Specialist pause notation in Moroccan and Maghrebi Qur’anic writing; not Arabic punctuation.
Pause; do not pronounce the mark.

1Why does ࣌ show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 14.0 (2021), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
