What 𑿓 means
It means three of four equal parts.
Tamil calls this value mukkāl (mukkaal), for 3/4. DHARMA, a database of historical inscriptions, records its earliest unambiguous entry in a Chola land inscription from 946; the Cholas were a Tamil dynasty. Related Tamil fraction terms appear in inscriptions from the eighth to eleventh centuries, in records of measurement and money.
Specialist historical notation for measurement and records.
Without Tamil context, 3/4 makes the value clearer.
Drift: Unicode 17.0 describes most historical Tamil signs as no longer in use; a few remain in traditional-format marriage invitations.

1Why does 𑿓 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.
