What ⮰ means
⮰ is the ribbon arrow down left. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block; this site shelves it under Stars & signs.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
⮰ is a single code point, U2BB0. In HTML that is ⮰, and in CSS \2BB0.

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.
