What ȸ means
ȸ is the latin small letter db digraph. Unicode classifies it as a lowercase letter and files it in the Latin Extended-B block; this site shelves it under Latin letters.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
ȸ is a single code point, U+0238. In HTML that is ȸ, and in CSS \0238.
