What 𒈽 means
It has several readings; language and sentence select one.
For mush3 gunu, Sumerian sign lists give scholarly spellings such as muš₂ (“face” or “flat space”), suḫ (“crown” or “to extract”), and suku₅ (“pole”). These are separate lexical readings, not one blended definition.
Cuneiform signs could carry word or sound values, and scribes also used Sumerian signs in Akkadian texts. There, 𒈽 can be a Sumerogram: a Sumerian word-sign read as an Akkadian word; the sentence determines its value.
Is 𒈽 the same as MUŠ₃?
No; 𒈽 is the separately catalogued gunû-marked form.
@g in sign-list notation marks gunû: added wedges that modify a base sign. The plain MUŠ₃ form is 𒈹; it is a related but separate entry, and the two should not be treated as interchangeable.
At Uruk, around 3350–3000 BCE, the earliest cuneiform records were used for institutional accounting of goods. Scribes adapted the writing system over centuries to several languages, helping explain why a sign can have different readings.
Scholarly and historical; a gloss without the language and sentence can mislead.
Choose a reading from the language and sentence, not the glyph alone.

1Why does 𒈽 show as a box?
A box usually means the current font lacks a Cuneiform glyph; it is a display fallback, not a different sign.
