What 𛲆 means

Follow the named shorthand tradition.

An affix is a short part added at a word’s beginning or end.

How did this shorthand develop?

It began as French stenography.

Émile Duployé designed the cursive system for quick writing and published it in 1860. Later adaptations adjusted the wider system for other languages. In interior British Columbia, missionary Jean-Marie Raphaël Le Jeune expanded it as Chinuk Pipa, or Chinook writing, used for Chinook Jargon, a regional trade language, and several Indigenous languages.

High affixes sit beside the word root, above the neighboring letter, without joining the cursive strokes.

Why does 𛲆 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.
