What ꃹ means
It writes one syllable in standardized Liangshan Yi.
vur is its Latin spelling, not a translation. Its unmarked ending signals a level, middle-pitch tone; the Yi word or sentence supplies meaning.
Older Yi writing (Cuan or Wei) varied locally. Bimo, village priests, used it for religious, magical, medical and family-history texts. A 1485 bronze-bell inscription is the oldest surviving example. The Liangshan syllabary was devised in 1974 and promulgated in 1980 to improve literacy, adapting older forms for that dialect alone.

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.
