Unicode details
⸸ is the Unicode character named TURNED DAGGER, code point U+2E38, in the Supplemental Punctuation block. It was added in Unicode 6.1 in 2012, and Unicode classes it as punctuation (general category Po).
It is not an emoji, so it keeps the colour and size of the text around it.
It comes from the Supplemental Punctuation block, which some fonts leave out, so a few older devices may show an empty box.
