What 𒐭 means
It marks two units in the šaru series. Each šaru counts 36,000, so this sign is read as 72,000.
Cuneiform began in Uruk in southern Mesopotamia around 3400–3300 BCE to record goods and services. It later wrote Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hittite, as well as numbers used in measurement.

1Why does 𒐭 show as a box on some devices?
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.
