What 𞹲 means
It is qaf in a distinct form used for math. The Arabic letter qaf is ق. In an equation, this form can label a quantity; the surrounding expression tells you what it stands for.
Arabic mathematical alphabets draw on letterforms used for centuries in manuscripts and traditional printed mathematics. They distinguish isolated, initial, tailed, stretched, looped, and double-struck forms because a letter’s style can carry mathematical meaning.
These forms appear in Arabic- and Persian-script mathematics, with regional choices in notation. The stretched qaf is one member of that broader system, not an instruction for a font to lengthen nearby text.

Questions people ask
2Does the qaf change shape beside other Arabic letters?
No. Arabic mathematical letters keep their encoded forms instead of changing into the connected beginning, middle, or end shapes used by ordinary Arabic letters in words.
Why does the stretched qaf show as a box?
The selected font may lack a drawing for this symbol. The character can still be present in the text; try a font that includes Arabic mathematical letters.
