What 𛲀 means
A word-affix sign whose value depends on the shorthand system.
French uses it for -ment; Romanian for -mant. Pernin uses it for sub-, while Pernin Reporters' uses it for pro-.
Duployé adapted Aimé Paris, an earlier French shorthand method. An initial version appeared in 1860; the distinct method followed in 1867. These marks shortened words; this free high sign sits beside, not attached to, the word stem.

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.
