What ⷊ means
It writes a Gurage syllable in Ethiopic script.
The k is made with the tongue raised toward the palate; i sounds like the vowel in “machine.” The extra series was proposed in 1963–1964 and appears in a 1966 Chaha-language book.

Questions people ask
1Why does ⷊ show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Ethiopic Extended block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
