What 𐧥 means
Values above 100 combined a multiplier with a rank sign. The system’s ranks extended from tens through hundred-thousands.
Meroitic cursive was Kush’s general-use script, partly based on Demotic, an Egyptian cursive script. Its numerals served accounts, measurements, and funerary and monumental records.
By the sixth century CE, Meroitic writing had given way to Coptic, which borrowed three Meroitic cursive signs to represent sounds in the Nubian language.
Historical and specialist in tone.
A box or blank means the font or app cannot display Meroitic Cursive; a Meroitic-capable font can.

1Why does 𐧥 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.
