What 瓸 means

It marks a 100-gram measure in Japanese notation. A metrology study lists 瓸 among 22 compact unit characters in weather reports from July 1891; it leaves the creation date unsettled.

These signs shorten metric units: 瓦 is the gram element, while 瓧 and 瓩 mark other scales. Chinese dictionaries give the Mandarin reading bǎiwǎ, in pinyin (Chinese sound spelling), roughly “bye-wah” with low-rising tones, for an older written unit of 100 watts.

Technical; suited to unit notes or historical transcriptions.

Check the language before conversion: Chinese dictionaries also record 100 watts.

Why does 瓸 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.
