What ౪ means
It is the Telugu numeral for four.
Telugu numerals use place value: each digit’s position sets its value, letting scribes record numbers and dates compactly.
A survey of old South Indian writing places the earliest specimens of the shared Telugu–Kannada numeral series on an inscription dated 1087 AD. It calls the series Telugu–Canarese numerals (Canarese was an older name for Kannada) and says it was common about 1300 AD.

1Why does ౪ 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.
