What 𑱪 means
It marks eighty as one numeral. Bhaiksuki used tens-unit signs in a positional system alongside its decimal digits.
Bhaiksuki appears in Buddhist Sanskrit texts and inscriptions from eastern South Asia; surviving examples date to the 10th–13th centuries. It developed from Gauḍī (Proto-Bengali), an eastern Indian script descended from Brahmi. The script was called Saindhavī and, in Tibet, Sindhu(ra); after its discovery in the late 19th century, scholars called it Bhaiksuki or Arrow-headed.
In multi-unit numbers, the largest unit came first and smaller units occupied lines below. Unicode leaves vertical orientation to fonts, so horizontal display remains valid.

1Why does 𑱪 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.
