What ㈤ means
It marks the fifth item in a list.
The parenthesized ideographs—East Asian characters used here for numbers one through ten—were designed as numbered bullets; their parentheses echo typewriter list markers. A June 1992 character-set inventory lists ㈤.

1Why does ㈤ show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Enclosed CJK Letters and Months block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
