What 𐆓 means
One seventy-second of the as. Rome's weight-and-money unit split into twelve unciae, each into six sextulae. Varro names it in the first century BC; jurist Maecianus catalogues the ladder.
Is 𐆓 just a flipped S?
No, a dedicated fraction sign. Inscriptions draw it as a reversed S; Unicode keeps it apart from letter Ƨ. Doubled, it reads the duella, two sextulae.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𐆓 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
