What ⮔ means
It marks a loop running anticlockwise. The arrows trace a cycle around four corners; the surrounding diagram or label identifies what is going around.
A 2011 Unicode proposal for Wingdings and Webdings symbols records the corresponding source glyph as w-0096, labeled “loop.” That documents a font-symbol source for the glyph, not one universal job for the sign.

Questions people ask
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.
