What 𞸋 means
It is a variable, not a fixed quantity. The formula assigns its role.
Maghrebi algebra texts used shorthand for an unknown's powers by the 12th century. By 2019, these styles were documented in Arabic- and Persian-script mathematical handbooks across the Middle East, Libya, and Algeria.
Does Arabic mathematical lam change shape in a formula?
No. It stays standalone. Ordinary Arabic ل joins letters in words; 𞸋 is separate, so its mathematical style is preserved.
Compatibility normalization, a text cleanup that merges equivalent forms, can reduce 𞸋 to ل and erase its math-style distinction.

1Why does 𞸋 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.
