What 𛲞 means
It marks a repeated word or spoken form.
Émile Duployé published French shorthand for speed in 1860. Jean-Marie Le Jeune adapted it for Chinook Jargon, a Pacific Northwest trade language, and Salish languages in British Columbia. Margareta Sfințescu’s Curs de Stenografie (“Shorthand Course”), a Romanian lesson in a children’s practical encyclopedia, shows the mark in 1984. An English adaptation called Sloan-Duployan uses it too.
Romanian shorthand pairs it with the Duployan letters M, N, J, and S for compact phrase signs. The S combination stands for “să se,” a Romanian clause phrase whose English reading depends on what follows. The mark can itself be doubled or tripled.

1Why does 𛲞 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.
