Certainly, it might be a ligature in Voynichese in terms of meaning or relationship to the other shapes, but I am pretty confident the origin of the shape is based on the Latin 9 abbreviation.
Look at where it is placed in the VMS... exactly the same as Latin... mostly at the ends of words, occasionally at the beginnings of words, and rarely in the middle and, just as is done in Latin, it is sometimes superscripted. It might even be a null, added to make Voynichese look like Latin.
