What 𐣧 means

It is a letter used within Hatran Aramaic words.

Hatran Aramaic was written at Hatra, an ancient city in northern Mesopotamia. The earliest securely dated Hatran inscription is from around 98 CE; dated inscriptions continued through 237–238 CE. They record names, dedications, memorials, tombs, buildings, graffiti, and rules for civic life. The letter’s meaning comes from the word it helps spell and the setting of that inscription.

Hatran belongs to the wider Aramaic writing tradition, alongside Nabataean, Palmyrene, Jewish Aramaic, and Old Syriac. At Dura-Europos, bilingual inscriptions from the second–third centuries CE show Hatran writing naming the three gods worshipped together at Hatra and recording a gift to the Sun god beside Greek text. These related traditions have their own letter forms; their characters are not interchangeable.
