What 𒋽 means
The surrounding text decides.
𒋽 is TE gunû, catalogued as GUR₈. Lists of readings in Sumerian, an ancient Mesopotamian language, include gur₈, tenₓ, and uru₅; context and period decide which applies. These scholarly readings are not English translations; cuneiform signs can represent words or syllables.
Gunû adds wedge strokes to a base sign, making a distinct sign. 𒋽 appears in Old Babylonian catalogue material—lists from an era of ancient Mesopotamia—found at Urim, an ancient city, and in later Sumerian literary texts. Fonts vary in wedge shape and spacing; if a font lacks this character, it may show an empty box.
A scholarly cuneiform sign from ancient writing.

1Why does 𒋽 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.
