What ӳ means
ӳ is the Chuvash letter; ӱ is a different Cyrillic letter. ӳ has two slanted strokes over u, while ӱ has two dots. Latin ü is a third character, useful in some romanizations but not the same Cyrillic letter.
Chuvash writing developed over time: the earliest located printed example of ӳ is in Zolotnitsky’s 1867 primer. The first printed Chuvash grammar appeared in 1769, and Yakovlev’s 1871 alphabet retained a dedicated letter for this vowel.

1Why does ӳ 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.
