What 𛲗 means

It sits below nearby letters, separate from their strokes. It is a suffix sign beside the main part of a word.

How did Duployan branch beyond French?

Duployan became a family of language adaptations. Émile Duployé published his French shorthand in 1860 to record speech quickly. Later inventories were adapted for English, German, Spanish and Romanian. In British Columbia, Jean-Marie Le Jeune adapted related Chinook writing for Chinook Jargon, a shared regional language, and Indigenous languages such as Okanagan, Lillooet, Shuswap and North Thompson. The Kamloops Wawa newsletter printed it from 1891–1923.

Why does 𛲗 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.
