What ㏖ means
It means mol, the mole symbol.
Its Latin letters m, o, and l occupy one square cell to align with East Asian text. This legacy compatibility character preserves older encodings; it does not name another chemical unit.
The wider square-symbol set includes scientific units that some Chinese standards encoded like Chinese characters. A Japanese chemistry glossary listed モル for the mole in 1900. A 2016 Japan Translation Federation guide recommends writing unit symbols in Latin letters or katakana, the Japanese syllabary, so ㏖ preserves a square-cell layout.

1Can software turn ㏖ into mol?
Yes. Unicode compatibility normalization (NFKC or NFKD) turns it into plain mol, removing the square layout.
