What 𑙘 means
It represents eight in Modi writing.
Modi was in use by the fifteenth century; some of its oldest surviving examples are described from the sixteenth century. Its uses included revenue records and everyday notes. Printing favored Balbodh, while official Marathi shifted to Devanagari, leaving Modi mainly in archival records.
This is a historical Modi numeral, suited to reading or transcribing Modi records.
