duployan letter u n

Duployan Letter U N

𛱔 is a Duployan shorthand sign for joined U and N; its exact sound depends on the adaptation. Émile Duployé published the French shorthand in 1860 to speed writing. The wider system was adapted into Chinook writing for Chinuk Wawa (Chinook Jargon), a Pacific Northwest trade language; that writing appeared in the Kamloops Wawa newsletter (1891–1923). Unicode charts relate this sign to separate U 𛱑 and N 𛰚 letters.

Why does 𛱔 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.
