What ꣓ means
It is the Saurashtra-script digit for three.
The Saurashtra numeral set writes numbers in the script used for the Saurashtra language. Saurashtra is an Indo-European language related to Gujarati and spoken in southern India; it has also been written in Tamil, Telugu and Devanagari. The Saurashtra script belongs to the Brahmic family of South Asian writing systems.
A known early printed Saurashtra text dates to 1880. The modernized script took shape in the late 1800s from earlier forms; through that change, ꣓ kept the value three.
