What 𐣩 means
It is a consonant letter. At Hatra, an ancient city in present-day Iraq, Hatran was used to write a local Aramaic dialect. Inscriptions span 98–97 BCE to about 241 CE, when the city was destroyed. They include graffiti, dedications, tomb texts, memorials, and legal texts.
Aramaic writing developed from Phoenician. Hatran belongs to its North Mesopotamian branch and reads right to left. Inscriptions may lack spaces; editors sometimes add them. Letters can form ligatures, or joined shapes, but joining is inconsistent.

1Why does 𐣩 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.
