What 𞹾 means
It marks a distinct mathematical letter style.
𞹾 is the stretched mathematical style of Arabic dotless feh ڡ. Arabic-script formulas use letter-shaped mathematical symbols, and this form belongs to a family of six styles. The character's specific role comes from the formula; it is not an operation with a universal meaning.
These mathematical letter styles appear in manuscripts and traditional print and were used for many centuries. They serve mathematical writing in Arabic and Persian, where style can help distinguish one symbol from another.
Arabic mathematical notation also varies by region: a W3C note published in 2006 contrasts Mashreq (Middle Eastern) and Maghreb (North African) styles, including different letter and operator choices.
Does 𞹾 join Arabic letters?
No. Its mathematical form does not join neighboring letters.
Ordinary Arabic letters can change shape to join neighboring letters. Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols are not shaped that way: 𞹾 keeps its encoded stretched outline instead of gaining it from a font's joining behavior.
A technical letterform for mathematical formulas written with Arabic-script letters.
Don't substitute plain dotless feh when a formula depends on this stretched style.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𞹾 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.
