What 𑃱 means
It means one in the Sora Sompeng number system.
The Sora Sompeng script, also called Sorang Sompeng, was devised to write Sora, a language of India. Mangei Gomango devised it on 18 June 1936 after a vision of its letters.
Sora was also written with Telugu, Odia, or Latin scripts; Sora Sompeng gave the language a script of its own. Those scripts are alternatives, not visual ancestors of this digit.
Someone sent me 𑃱—what does it mean?
Usually, it is the number one.
By itself, it can be a numeral sent on its own or a sample of the Sora script. The surrounding message shows whether the sender is giving the number or showing the writing system.
Someone who reads Sora Sompeng can recognize its value directly; someone unfamiliar with the script may notice the writing system before the number.
Why does 𑃱 show up as a square?
A font without Sora support may show a square.
The square is a missing-glyph placeholder, not a different digit. A font that supports Sora Sompeng can display the character.
