What 𛱳 means
Émile Duployé published French Duployan shorthand in 1860 to record speech quickly. It also spread as an educational tool and entered commercial reporting. In Pernin Reporters, 𛱳 is the low mark in a prefix series; the middle and upper forms represent “trans-” and “super-.”
Priest Jean-Marie-Raphaël Le Jeune adapted Duployan for Chinook Jargon, a regional contact language, and Indigenous languages of interior British Columbia. The newsletter Kamloops Wawa printed this connected branch from 1891 to 1923.
Duployan low and high affix marks normally do not join adjacent strokes, so 𛱳 may sit apart from the cursive word.

1Why does 𛱳 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
