What ꢯ means
It writes the “sh” consonant inside Saurashtra words.
The Saurashtra script belongs to the Brahmic family, a tradition of writing systems used across South Asia.
The modern Saurashtra script took shape in the late 1800s. Printed books from 1905 and 1906 preserve it. As of 2024, choosing the native script, Tamil, or Devanagari remained debated in the community.

1Why does ꢯ show as a box?
It can be a font issue: a font without Saurashtra coverage may show a missing-glyph box. Try a font that supports the script.
