What କ means
It is the Odia consonant ka.
Is କ an emoji? No; it is text in Odia words. The consonant has a built-in vowel; a vowel sign changes it, and a virama cancels it. Without conjunct support, the virama may stay visible and make joined letters look split, although the text is unchanged.
Odia script grew from Kalinga, descended from Brahmi, an older South Asian script. The earliest known Odia-language inscription in Kalinga script dates to 1051. Palm-leaf writing favored curves; Odia also writes Sanskrit.

1Why does କ 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.
