What 𑍇 means
It gives a base consonant a long e vowel. This attached Grantha ee sign needs a consonant to form a syllable. In text order it follows the consonant, though print places it on the left.
Intermediate forms of Grantha appear in Pallava inscriptions from the 4th century CE. Grantha served Sanskrit writing in the Tamil region, where Tamil script marked fewer Sanskrit sound distinctions; it later appeared in Tamil–Sanskrit Manipravalam, a mixed literary style. The form represented here belongs to the Grantha tradition after the 13th century CE. Like Tamil and Malayalam, Grantha belongs to the Brahmic script family; this sign itself is Grantha.
A script-specific sign in Grantha, a script chiefly used for Sanskrit in Tamil Nadu.
Microsoft Word may show a blank glyph if its selected font lacks Grantha coverage.

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.
