What ㎄ means
It fits the kA unit symbol into one full-width character cell.
kA is the standard kiloampere symbol: 1,000 amperes of electric current. The square form lets these Latin letters occupy a full-width East Asian text cell, aligning with CJK characters, especially in vertical text.
Whether you see kA or ㎄, the unit is a kiloampere. The square glyph is a compatibility form, so text normalization may turn it into the ordinary two-letter kA.
Technical and typographic; read it as a unit symbol for electric current.

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.
