What ⋟ means

⋟ is the equal to or succeeds. Unicode classifies it as a mathematical symbol and files it in the Mathematical Operators block; this site shelves it under Maths.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

⋟ is a single code point, U+22DF. In HTML that is ⋟, and in CSS \22DF.

Why 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.
