What ⑾ means
It labels the list’s eleventh entry.
It belongs to a family of enclosed-number signs used as list markers.
Many such signs were included to match older East Asian character sets. Rich-text formatting can supply list numbering; this compact form also fits plain text.
Why does ⑾ become (11)?
A compatibility conversion can unfold it into plain text.
NFKC is one Unicode text-normalization form; it changes the single character ⑾ into “(11)”, four ordinary characters. The text string changes, but the marked number stays eleven.

1Why does ⑾ 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.
