What 𖦐 means

It is a character from an earlier stage of Bamum writing.

Phase E was the fifth major form of the script, developed around 1907–1908 as earlier pictographic and word-sign forms were simplified. King Njoya and palace advisers developed Bamum writing for administration, education, correspondence, chronicles, and records. A manuscript from 1897 is an early record of the script. Later phases moved toward syllabic writing, a shift compared with the development of Vai. “Set” is part of Unicode’s label; the character’s reading depends on its Bamum text.

Historical and specialized; read it in its Bamum text.

Why does 𖦐 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.
