What 𝓹 means
It is the letter p from the mathematical bold-script alphabet. The surrounding formula assigns its role; the letter has no universal meaning alone.
Unicode expanded a smaller older set of letter-shaped math signs so style distinctions could survive in plain text. It is meant for equations; using a cursive p as fancy text is a side use.
Why can 𝓹 turn into p?
Unicode text normalization can fold the style away. NFKC and NFKD are cleanup forms that map 𝓹 to plain p.

1Why does 𝓹 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.
