What ꒣ means
A dictionary index mark, not a word.
In the Liangshan Yi dictionary index, ꒣ is a subsidiary form in the group headed by . Entries under each mark are sorted by stroke count.
The Liangshan standard was devised in 1974 and officially issued in 1980. Older Yi writing varied by region; early evidence appears on pottery, stone, and bronze. Paper texts date to the late Ming. Yi ritual specialists called Bimo copied religious, magical, and medical works.

1Why does ꒣ 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.
