What ㍱ means
It means hPa, the air-pressure unit. The box marks a compact East Asian character cell; fonts can draw its proportions differently.
A Japanese broadcasting standard, ARIB STD-B24 Version 5.2-E1, includes it as a form of hectopascal (hPa). Japan's weather service switched from millibars (mb) to hPa on 1992-12-01; aviation weather used hPa earlier.
Compact, technical unit notation.
The box changes layout, not the pressure unit.
