What ◷ means
◷ is the white circle with upper right quadrant. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Geometric Shapes block; this site shelves it under Stars & signs.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded

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.
