What ᮴ means

It is the Sundanese digit for four.

In Sundanese, four is opat. A wilangan is a written number.

Sundanese writing developed from Pallava, an older South Asian script, through Old Sundanese. The earliest documented Old Sundanese inscription is on a stone at Kawali. Sundanese has also been written in Javanese and Arabic scripts. Latin script spread widely in the 20th century; the modern writing standard became official in 1996.

It signals Sundanese-script context more than a particular conversational tone.

In Latin-only text, recipients may not recognize it as four.

Why does ᮴ 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.
