What ﮹ means
It shows the three-dot pattern on its own for Arabic-script instruction.
It takes its own place on the line, with the dots separate from any letter. In Arabic-script writing, dots above or below letters distinguish shapes that could otherwise look alike; this mark presents one three-dot pattern in isolation.
It reads like a script-teaching mark; alone in a message, it needs context.
Do not read it as a full stop; that is the separate ؞ mark.

1Why does ﮹ 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.
