What 𑁔 means
It represented the quantity three in Brahmi numerals.
The Brahmi numeral tradition is attested from the mid-third century BCE. Examples include cave inscriptions and coins from areas around Pune (Poona), Mumbai (Bombay), and Uttar Pradesh. Larger values came before smaller ones; signs could also be joined into one written form to multiply by 100 or 1,000. In the late Brahmi period, this older system existed alongside a place-value decimal set. 𑁓 and 𑁕 are neighboring values in the older set; 𑁩 is the later decimal three linked to later Indian numeral writing.

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.
