What ꤈ means
It represents the number eight in Kayah Li writing.
Kayah Li was developed by Htae Bu Phae in March 1962 as a distinct writing system for the Kayah people, partly in response to spellings associated with Burmese authorities and missionary institutions. By the 1980s, it appeared in schoolbooks, dictionaries, and magazines; refugee-camp schools also used it for education and community identity. Kayah Li is connected to the Brahmic script family, a broad family of writing systems used across South and Southeast Asia. Its letter order and some letter shapes show Myanmar influence, while most signs developed independently.
