What 𐢬 means

It means five in Nabataean numeral writing.

From around 100 BCE to the late fourth century CE, Nabataean numerals appear on buildings, written pottery fragments, coins, and economic records. They recorded quantities and dates by adding signs. The oldest known Nabataean inscription, from Haluza, dates to about 170 BCE; that dates the script’s surviving record, not this sign specifically. Nabataean script grew from Aramaic; Greek and Roman numerals began replacing its own by the fourth century CE.
