Here's output from my Alt KeyCode Finder script for your string:

 i   U+0069     105        …105…    105   0105    Latin Small Letter I

I guess that at least all Hangul characters as well as Saurashtra and Latin letters are simply truncated Unicode from CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B to Basic Multilingual Plane codepoints as follows:

• ꢐ U+A890 <- U+2A890 
• i U+0069 <- U+20069 
• □ U+BB69 <- U+2BB69  (character is properly rendered at link)
• □ U+B569 <- U+2B569 

Your string might be as follows 退鑓駘㡩詧趉趓䝩駙兩贶坩駙 but I can't guarantee that above list contains all such truncation.

Note that rendered □ U+25A1 White Square is simply a replacement character…
