What does ㏄ mean?
It means cubic centimetres in a compact East Asian text cell. In Japanese notation, cc is used for cubic centimetres; the square form fits those Latin letters into one full-width cell alongside East Asian characters.
Japan's Weights and Measures Law included the abbreviation cc in a 1909 revision; that dates the abbreviation, not the first printed ㏄. This square form belongs to a legacy East Asian repertoire of boxed Latin abbreviations reflected in Japanese character-set standards such as JIS X 0208.
Japanese reference works use cc for this unit; English technical style generally prefers cm³ and may treat cc as nonstandard. A compatibility-normalization step in text software can flatten ㏄ to cc; NFKC and NFKD are two forms of that cleanup.
Technical and compact: a legacy unit mark shaped to fit East Asian text layout.
Do not read ㏄ as email Cc: this square unit mark means cubic centimetres; email Cc is plain-letter shorthand.

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.
