If you look in the log file, you'll see the line \jhbin=\box46.
What happens if you try \hbox{\jhbin}? You get a period. Why? Because ASCII 46 is the period. If you define other save boxes, you'd ...

Rabarberski's 2012 question (Belgium):
I want to add a box with some copyright statement at the bottom of my paper. What is the easiest/best way to do this?
An easy book example places the copyright notice on the back side of the title page.

Based on this answer here is how you can hack the framenumber.
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]{}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{%
\hfill%
\usebeamercolor[fg]{page number in head/foot}%
\usebeamerfont{page number in head/foot}%
\fcolorbox{red}{red}{\insertframenumber%
\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber}%
