What ᧿ means
It marks the final day on the waning side of the Khmer lunar calendar. Waning is the half of the lunar cycle when the visible moon shrinks toward new moon; the sign labels a day, not a month or year by itself.
Khmer lunar dates appear in pre-Angkorian and Angkorian inscriptions, documenting the older calendar practice this sign belongs to.
Specialized Khmer lunar-date notation; it reads as one part of a date.
