What 𑽅 means

It organizes Kawi writing by separating major parts.

Kawi was used across Southeast Asia's islands from the eighth to sixteenth centuries. It grew gradually from the Pallava script of southern India; its oldest known record, a Central Javanese inscription, dates to about 750 CE. That date is for the script, not this mark. Kawi later influenced Javanese and Balinese scripts.

Kawi punctuation pairs circles, flowers, and spirals in sequences for openings, closings, and major breaks; 𑽇𑽎𑽇 is an attested divider. Kawi glyphs vary by period and region, so fonts may draw different shapes.

Why 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.
