What ︗ means
It is a compatibility form for vertical punctuation. Unicode retains it to map the vertical form of 〖 in GB 18030 data. In a horizontal line, this upright presentation can look out of place.
For new text, enter 〖 and set the writing direction to vertical; the layout system handles its presentation.

Questions people ask
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.
