What 𒉍 means
NIE is a catalog label, not a two-syllable reading. The label combines the names NI and E; it does not tell you to sound out the Latin syllables “ni” and “e” in every text. Its reading depends on the surrounding signs and language.
The sign list notes a Hittite context, especially Hurrian material. Hittite and Hurrian are ancient languages recorded in cuneiform; that association gives historical context, not a standalone translation.
Why does the cuneiform glyph look different?
Its visible wedges depend on the font. This is a text character, so cuneiform fonts can draw its wedge pattern differently. A font without Cuneiform support may show a blank box or fallback mark; that display issue does not make it a different sign.

One character. The name refers to NI and E, but 𒉌𒂊 typed in sequence would be two signs, not this character.
