What 𝧌 means
It marks one small loop that reaches the floor plane.
Here, the floor plane means a movement path parallel to the ground; single marks one loop. The glyph records movement, not a complete written sign.
SignWriting groups symbols in a two-dimensional cluster. Handshape, location, palm orientation, and facial or other body signals combine with movement to show the language-specific sign.
Where did SignWriting come from?
It grew from a system for writing dance movement.
Valerie Sutton first published DanceWriting in 1973, a system for recording dance movement. In 1974, at the University of Copenhagen, she adapted it to write signed languages after researchers sought a way to record signers’ movements.
Deaf writers and teachers developed printed and handwritten forms, shorthand, dictionaries, lessons, and literature in multiple signed languages.

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.
