What 🅎 means
The square encloses the abbreviation as one mark.
Japan’s Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) publishes STD-B24, a standard for text in digital broadcasts. A Unicode proposal dated 23 April 2008 lists 🅎 as the ARIB PPV symbol (code 9082), glossed as pay-per-view; Unicode added the mark in 2009.
