What 𞁜 means
It marks a merged sound category, not a separate spoken о.
An archiphoneme labels sounds whose contrast disappears in context. A 1905 study of Serbian dialects by Aleksandar Belić used subscripts for stronger and weaker vowel values; a 1981 Russian transcription used /а𞁜/ for merged unstressed /a/ and /o/.
Specialist notation; its reading depends on the transcription system.
