What 𑊘 means
It represents the consonant d in Multani writing. Multani script developed from Landa, a family of regional scripts, in the 18th century; it is also called Karikki or Sarai. It was used to write Seraiki, a language of Punjab and northern Sindh, and is related to Gurmukhi, more distantly to Khudawadi and Khojki.
Merchants used it for routine records and trade. A Baptist missionary press made metal type for Christian literature; in 1819 it printed the first Multani book, a New Testament. British adoption of Arabic script for Sindh languages in the latter 19th century displaced Multani from general use, though it continued into the 20th century.
The Unicode Standard 17.0 gives no standard form for Multani: its representative glyphs are based on the 1819 printed New Testament, while handwritten forms vary. Fonts may draw 𑊘 differently without changing its identity.
