What 𖤴 means
It marks the Bamum syllable whose reading is written “yuom.”
Bamum writing was developed for the Bamum language. Its early signs represented objects and actions; successive revisions shifted the system toward syllabic writing, where signs represent spoken syllables. Bamum texts recorded histories, calendars, legal records, and other books.
Phase D is one step in that sequence. The later modern form simplified the sign inventory, so 𖤴 belongs in historical Bamum transcription and specialist study.
Historical and specialist: it identifies a Bamum-script context.
A square box means the font cannot display historic Bamum; it does not change the character.

1Why does 𖤴 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.
