What 𞁪 means
It marks a sound category in specialist Cyrillic transcription. In a Bulgarian analysis published in 2007, subscript signs mark archiphonemes: categories for sounds whose difference disappears in a particular position. 𞁪 is one sign in that set; the author’s notation determines its precise reading.

A specialist mark in phonological notation.
