What ᵑ means
It tells the reader to say eng very briefly. UPA writes pronunciation for Uralic, Turkic, and Mongolic languages.
The full-size eng has older roots: Icelandic writing used an eng letter by the 12th century; an English phonetic use is recorded in 1619.
How did UPA notation change?
UPA notation changed through published revisions. It appeared in 1901 and was revised in the 1970s. A 1958 Itkonen sample is linked to this raised form.
Specialist phonetic notation, especially UPA.

1Why does ᵑ 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.
