Why was 𭋁 added to Unicode?
To keep its printed form in a digital text.
The Taishō Tripiṭaka is a Buddhist scripture collection published in Japan from 1924 to 1934; SAT began digitizing it in 1994. Early digital editions used combinations of familiar character parts or black squares when codes were missing. In 2017, SAT’s proposal added over 2,800 such characters to Unicode, including 𭋁.

1Why does 𭋁 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.
