What 𐫦 means
It marks a shortened spelling in Manichaean text.
The Manichaean script developed from Syriac Estrangela, a form of Syriac writing, with influence from Palmyrene writing. Manichaeism began in the third century CE, and its teaching appeared in texts in Iranian languages, Sogdian, Bactrian and Uyghur. Manuscripts from Turfan show dots used for abbreviation, elision (omitted sounds), plurality and fitting text to a line. This mark chiefly compresses plural endings at line ends.
A scribal abbreviation mark from the Manichaean writing tradition.

1Why can 𐫦 look out of place by itself?
It can. This mark attaches to nearby Manichaean text written right to left. Its placement depends on the font and text-shaping support, so a font without that support may leave it detached or misplaced by itself.
