What 𒍽 means

𒍽 can mean “reddish,” “furious,” or the plant dog bush. In Sumerian huš, š sounds like “sh”; nearby words determine the sense.

The earliest listed “reddish” use is Early Dynastic IIIa, an early Mesopotamian period; the plant sense appears in Old and Middle Babylonian records.

Why does 𒍽 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.
