What ㊐ means
Enter U3290 in an editor that accepts Unicode code-point input. The circle is encoded as part of the character; adding a circular text border to 日 depends on the editor. Unicode retains enclosed forms for compatibility with East Asian text.
What does ㊐ mean?
It marks Sunday in compact Japanese weekday notation. Japanese calendars and tables use it as the Sunday entry in a set of circled weekday marks. The circle encloses 日, an ideograph used for sun and day; the calendar setting determines the weekday reading.
Japanese weekday notation drew on calendar systems transmitted through China and Korea. A Japanese court calendar records the seven-day cycle by 998; its day signs also served divination and the selection of auspicious dates. Japan adopted the solar calendar in 1873 and designated Sunday as a rest day in 1876, making weekday labels familiar in everyday scheduling.
Neutral in calendars and tables; unusual in casual chat unless Sunday is the point.
In a Japanese schedule, read it as Sunday; the sun/day character alone does not give the full calendar reading.

1Why does ㊐ 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.
