What ㏚ means
㏚ is the square pr. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the CJK Compatibility block; this site shelves it under Chinese, Japanese & Korean.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
㏚ is a single code point, U+33DA. In HTML that is ㏚, and in CSS \33DA.

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.
