What 𑙃 means
It marks shortened writing in Modi.
Modi is a cursive script used mainly for Marathi. It draws on Nagari, a family of related South Asian scripts, and suits fast, continuous writing in records and administration. Proto-Modi is traced to the 12th century; Modi emerged in the 16th, and its oldest surviving document dates to the early 17th century.
Modi was also used for other regional languages in records, business, letters, and notes. In the 1950s, Balbodh, the Devanagari form used for Marathi, became standard, ending Modi’s official use. Goykanadi has a similar abbreviation circle; the direction of borrowing is unsettled.
