What ꨀ means
It is Cham’s independent vowel A, used at a syllable start.
ꨀ takes vowel marks. Signs ꨳ and ꨶ add y- or w-like sounds; their spellings differ from Cham letters ꨢ and ꨥ, though the sounds can match.
Why can ꨀ look wrong?
The font or text shaper may lack Cham support.
Cham stores some marks after ꨀ though they render to its left. Poor Cham font or shaping support can misalign them or show a box.

Questions people ask
1Why does ꨀ 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.
