What ࡒ means
ࡒ is Mandaic Aq, transliterated q.
The Mandaeans, a religious community, developed the script to write Classical Mandaic for liturgy and ritual; Mandaean tradition treats its alphabet as sacred. One scholarly account places its formation around the second century CE; surviving magical texts on lead amulets and bowls date to the third or fourth century CE. Mandaic's eastern Aramaic links are debated: proposed ties include Parthian official writing and Elymaean and Characene evidence. Its letter order follows Hebrew and other Aramaic alphabets. Modern Neo-Mandaic is spoken and written in a modified classical script.
