wancho digit eight

Wancho Digit Eight

𞋸 is the Wancho-script digit for eight, used in Wancho’s decimal number system. Teacher Banwang Losu developed the Wancho script during 2001–2012 after finding that Latin spelling could not represent some meaningful tone differences in Wancho. The language has also been written in Latin letters and Devanagari, a script also used for Hindi.

Why does 𞋸 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.
