What 𐎏 means
It represents the Ugaritic consonant ḏ.
At ancient Ugarit, a Syrian port city, scribes adapted an existing alphabet to cuneiform: wedge marks pressed into clay. They used it mainly for their local language. Surviving tablets from the 14th to early 12th centuries BCE include letters, records, school exercises and myths, plus some texts in Akkadian and Hurrian, two other ancient languages.
The Ugaritic letter order resembles Phoenician, an alphabet written with lines rather than clay wedges. Ugaritic writing disappeared with the city's palace culture in the late 12th century BCE; Phoenician writing continued.
