What 𞱲 means
Siyaq builds amounts by adding signs with their own values.
Separate signs stand for units, tens, hundreds, and higher orders; there is no zero sign. Higher values come first.
Called raqm or rakam in South Asia, this notation abbreviates Arabic number-words and appears in Urdu and Persian contexts. 𞱲 derives from ʿadadān, the Arabic dual of ʿadad (“number”), a grammatical form for two, not the everyday word ithnān. Indic-language names mark higher orders; northern and Deccani (southern Indian) forms differ in some larger values.

1Why does 𞱲 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.
