What 𞸶 means
It is a math-style form of ث; the equation assigns its role.
It is based on ث, the Arabic letter called theh. In Arabic math, its style can distinguish a variable; context supplies the specific role.
Arabic mathematical letterforms appear in manuscripts and print across centuries; symbolic algebra is attested by the 15th century. A 2006 proposal sought fixed, nonjoining characters for digital formulas. Arabic and Persian math use this family, with regional differences documented by a 2006 W3C note.
Mathematical and formula-bound.
Substituting ordinary ث can erase a style distinction.
