What 𞁞 means
Some transcriptions use it for an archiphoneme. That category covers sounds that stop distinguishing words in a particular context; the notation key gives its exact value. The lowered form is a character of its own, not a styled с.
A 1905 account used raised and lowered Cyrillic letters for stronger and weaker vowel values. Some linguistic descriptions use subscripts for archiphonemes and superscripts for phonetic detail; placement has no universal meaning.
