What ڼ means
It marks a retroflex n. For /ɳ/, curl the tongue tip back; the pandak ring distinguishes this sound from the ordinary n written with ن.
The mid-sixteenth-century Khayr al-bayan, associated with Bayazid Ansari, lists the Pashto alphabet and explains Pashto spelling. Surviving copies are dated 1651 and 1668. The letter adapts the Perso-Arabic writing tradition to mark a Pashto sound that plain ن does not distinguish.
