What ࢬ means
It marks a medial ya sound after a consonant.
Rohingya Fonna adapts Arabic script to write Rohingya sounds that standard Arabic spelling does not cover. A 2010 Unicode proposal described Arabic-script Rohingya writing as having a history of more than two centuries. A 2025 thesis reports that older documents were lost, so the early Fonna manuscript record is fragmentary.
In Fonna, ࢬ corresponds to Myanmar medial ya. Hanifi is a separate Rohingya alphabet developed in the 1980s; Rohingya is also written in Myanmar and Latin scripts.

1Why does ࢬ 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.
