What 𐣨 means
It writes one consonant within Hatran Aramaic words.
The letter is conventionally transliterated ṭ (Latin t with a dot below), a scholarly way to show which consonant it writes. By itself, it has no word meaning.
Hatran is an Aramaic script used at Hatra, an ancient city in present-day Iraq. Its inscriptions and graffiti served religious, commemorative, funerary, and building purposes. One Greek–Hatran inscription gives complementary messages to readers of the two languages.
Why can Hatran text look different on screen?
Direction, spacing, and font support explain the main changes.
Hatran runs right to left. Older inscriptions may not mark spaces between words; modern editions may add them. Some fonts also use optional ligatures, which join neighboring letters. These display choices do not turn this letter into another one.
If the character appears as an empty box, the font or text app likely lacks Hatran coverage.
Historical and scholarly: it appears in Hatran text and reproductions of inscriptions.

1Why does 𐣨 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.
