Linear B Ideogram B169

𐂱 is a Linear B ideogram, a sign that stands for an object or category, but “B169” is a catalogue number, not an object name. Linear B adapted the earlier Cretan script Linear A to write the Bronze Age Greek used by the Mycenaeans; at the palace center of Knossos on Crete around 1450 BCE, scribes used ideograms to count people, animals, and goods.

Why does 𐂱 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.
