What 𐂩 means
They label counted items; syllable signs spell parts of words.
Linear B used syllable signs to spell words and ideograms to label goods or other counted items; a numeral beside a label gave its quantity. This convention explains B161's class, but it cannot tell us what that specific sign represented.

1Why does 𐂩 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.
