What ᶟ means
It marks a light or passing ɜ effect. In phonetic transcription, it can show ɜ-coloring, a short inserted vowel, or an echo vowel.
The parent ɜ shifted in IPA charts from 1921–1993: a half-open central vowel in 1921, a lowered neutral vowel in 1932, then its earlier value in reversed-e form in 1993.

1Why does ᶟ 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.
