What ൰ means

It marks ten as a multiplier in older Malayalam numerals.

Thus ൩൰൨ is 32 and ൰൧ is 11; newer writing uses ൧൦ for ten.

A history published in 2010 links Malayalam numerals with the Grantha script and Tamil numerals, and notes few distinct Malayalam inscriptions before AD 1000. It dates the move to using zero and digit position for value to the mid-19th century. A Malayalam grammar from 1841 shows both forms in dates and accounts.

Historical, for older Malayalam number writing.

For ten in positional notation, use ൧൦.

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.
