What 𛱺 means
It marks the French suffix -te. Duployan is shorthand, a faster way to write. Émile Duployé developed it for French; it was published in 1860. An affix is a sign for a word part. This one attaches to a word’s final letter.
Duployan was adapted for English, German, Spanish and Romanian. Father Jean-Marie-Raphaël LeJeune adapted it for Chinook Jargon, a contact language, and other Indigenous languages in interior British Columbia. That script used Duployan letters but no affixes. A surviving record is Kamloops Wawa, a mostly Chinook Jargon newsletter published 1891–1923.

1Why does 𛱺 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.
