What ⧄ means

The character list cross-references them; they remain separate symbols.

⍁ is APL’s functional symbol “quad slash”; APL is a programming language. 〼 is the Japanese masu mark. Unicode’s character-name list calls it an informal abbreviation for the Japanese verb ending ます. Neither character is an alternate encoding of ⧄.

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.
