What 𐮙 means

It marks a passage edge or a meaningful break. It can appear at a passage's start or end, or inside it; the four-dot system's finer distinctions are uncertain. Psalter Pahlavi is Christian Middle Persian writing derived from Imperial Aramaic, an older Aramaic writing tradition. Its main witness, the Pahlavi Psalter, translates Syriac, a literary form of Aramaic, into Middle Persian; its punctuation follows Syriac conventions. Its date is disputed, with estimates spanning the 4th century CE to the 6th or 7th century CE.

Why 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.
