What 𖫅 means

They follow decimal place values.

For example, 𖫅𖫀 is fifty: five tens and zero ones.

Why did Lakhum Mossang create the Tangsa script?

To write Tangsa varieties and support literacy.

Mossang created it as an independent alphabet for Tangsa varieties in Arunachal Pradesh, India, and Myanmar’s Sagaing Region.

His classes and materials promoted literacy and cultural preservation, using records, receipts, songs, stories and a prayer. By 2021, revisions had broadened the script beyond Muishvung, though some varieties still needed extra sounds or tone conventions.

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.
