What 𞹟 means
Qaf is an Arabic-script letter; this math form has no dot.
Arabic- and Persian-script mathematics uses letters for quantities and other objects; the equation supplies this one's role. Style can carry meaning, so plain qaf in a decorative font is not equivalent.
The Arabic mathematical alphabet draws on letter styles used across centuries in manuscripts and print. Letter-based algebraic shorthand appears in western Islamic writing by the end of the 12th century; writers used letters and marks to compress calculations.
