What 𑙂 means
It marks a boundary in the text. A danda is punctuation for a phrase, sentence, or section boundary; the double form usually separates a larger unit. Exact use varies by script and text.
Modi emerged from the Nagari family of Indian scripts in the 16th century, designed for fast official writing with few pen lifts.
The earliest surviving Modi document dates to the early 17th century. Modi was formally discontinued in the 1950s, when Devanagari was promoted as the standard script for Marathi.

1Why does 𑙂 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.
