What 𞹵 means
It's a math-style Arabic teh; the formula decides what it stands for.
The stretched form is a distinct mathematical style, not just extra width from a font.
Arabic mathematical lettering appears in inscriptions, manuscripts, and printed handbooks over many centuries. A 2010 Unicode proposal sought separate characters to preserve these distinctions in formulas.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𞹵 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

𞹵\1EE75Why is 𞹵 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
