What ⮇ means
It marks a pair of downward directions. It gives the direction and pairing, but not what is moving; a nearby label or diagram supplies that. Its drawn form depends on the active font because it is a text character.
What is its connection to Wingdings 3?
A 2011 proposal lists it as Wingdings 3 glyph 3075. Wingdings 3 is a symbol font. At the time, symbols from these font sets could rely on font-specific character mappings or insertion menus; the proposal aimed to give them Unicode encodings that could travel as text. Unicode also cross-references , the paired-downward-arrow form with plain heads.

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.
