What 𑁟 means
It is a single sign for the value fifty.
Brahmi is an ancient writing system. Its numeral signs recorded quantities in inscriptions around the third century BCE and in manuscripts. In additive notation, separate signs' values are added, with larger values first. Later positional decimal digits appeared alongside them; Brahmi numerals also developed through Gupta and Nagari, later Indian numeral styles.
The Unicode 11.0 chart shows example glyphs, not fixed models, so fonts may draw this sign differently.
It belongs to scholarly Brahmi transcription, including studies of inscriptions and historical writing.
Keep its value distinct from the later place-based five.

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.
