What 𝈏 means
It marks a pitch beside the sung words.
Greek vocal notation placed pitch signs with the lyrics, often above the sung syllables; a separate system marked instrumental parts. Here, c names a pitch position, not a Greek word.
Greek music signs are attested from the sixth century BCE; this pitch system was established by the mid-third century BCE, and its earlier development cannot be traced. The wider notation appears in Greek drama and a Christian hymn from the late third century CE.

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.
