What 𒍘 means
UŠUMX names the sign; the text supplies its reading.
UŠUMX is a sign-list label. Cuneiform was used to write Sumerian in ancient Mesopotamia and later adapted for other languages. A sign could stand for a sound or a whole word, so the meaning of UŠUMX in a tablet depends on its language and surrounding text. The label alone cannot decode it.
Cuneiform signs took different shapes across periods, places, and scribal styles. A font's reference drawing is one representation, not a facsimile of a particular tablet.

1Why does 𒍘 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.
