What 𑠦 means
It is the consonant va in Dogra writing.
Dogra is an abugida: each consonant carries a default “a”; vowel signs change it, and a virama mark suppresses it in a cluster.
Dogra follows the Takri line, historically linked to the scripts Devāśeṣa and Śāradā. Standardized in the 1860s, it moved closer to Devanagari and Gurmukhi for official use. Unicode 17.0 says Dogri is usually written in Devanagari.
Historical and specialist; use it as Dogra’s va consonant.
A bare letter carries “a”; a vowel sign or virama changes its reading.
