This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as permille and per thousand.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+2030 prohibits a line break before it, if it follows a number. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “per mille” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: per mil, permil, permille.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The phrase per mille (from Latin per mīlle 'in each thousand') indicates parts per thousand. The associated symbol is ‰, similar to a per cent sign % but with an extra zero in the divisor.
Major dictionaries do not agree on the spelling, giving other options of per mil, per mill, permil, permill, permille.
The word promille is the cognate in Dutch, German, Finnish and Swedish, and is sometimes seen as a loanword in English with the same meaning as per mille.
