Is it as simple as just a square or rectangle with the application name in the center?
A:
The square or ractangle define the system not the application in UML. Also at the when you prepare UML, you dont have an application. You only have a problem that belong to a system that have some actors and some process ( use cases ).
So there is no point to include application in UML.

A:
I have been using UML to describer enterprise level architetures, where in a component diagram one component per application and in sequence diagrams one lifeline per application was used.

A:
If by application, you mean an other (external) system which interact with your system (application) then it is an actor. You can stereotype that actor as application and in some software gives it a specialized icon (square or whatever). Unfortunately all UML softwares are very poor in representation so sometimes it's better to use a graphics software to draw nice UML diagrams.
