What means
To preserve exact characters in identity-card records. Its source set came from a special font for registering resident identity cards.
Some characters in the font had only private-use codes—reserved positions that systems could interpret only if they shared the same custom mapping. The encoding proposal assigned shared codes to the supplemental set so records could move between systems without relying on one local font.

1Why does show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 15.1 (2023), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
