What 𞁐 means
In the Lak example, it marks the fortis (“strong”) series. A Lak phonetics textbook published in 2006 uses the superscript palochka after consonants for this series. Lak is a language spoken in Dagestan. In the same notation, the full-size palochka marks ejective consonants, made by closing the glottis.
By 1967, the full-size palochka appears in a dictionary of Abazin, a language of the Caucasus, and Russian. It is used in several North Caucasian Cyrillic spellings. Its straight form may have reused the Roman numeral I, already available on typewriters; the raised form carries this letter into phonetic notation.
To enter it in Microsoft Word for Windows, type 1E050 and press Alt+X.
A specialist mark for phonetic transcription; its value depends on the notation.
Do not assume it marks an ejective; the Lak example uses it for fortis.

1Why does 𞁐 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.
