What 𞹛 means
It is ghain in a distinct Arabic math style.
Arabic mathematical styles create distinct variables. This form does not name a fixed number or operation; its value comes from the equation or the author's definitions. It keeps its encoded form instead of joining nearby Arabic letters.
Arabic mathematical styles descend from letterforms used in manuscripts and print for centuries; Arabic algebraic symbols are attested from the late 12th century. A 2005 W3C overview describes regional notation: Maghreb formulas run right to left and use some different operation and function letters from Machrek. The 2026 Unicode Standard says these symbols appear in most handbooks from West Asia, Libya, and Algeria.
