It is quite rare, but it is encountered, for example, three times in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. in the "index" column to the left.
This symbol is quite attractive for the analysis purposes in that it is clearly a single symbol, and not any combination/superposition of simpler symbols.
What makes this symbol extremely interesting is that it is used as a standalone label in f80r: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
So: either this stands for a number (why would a number be associated with this object?)
Or: this stands for a one-character word (could those who explore the language hypothesis advise whether any languages, besides hieroglyphic-based, have one-letter nouns?)
Or: the cipher is encoding a multi-letter word into a single character of the ciphertext.
What do you think?
It could be an initial or abbreviation.
It could be the start of a drawing that was abandoned and then redrawn further to the right to leave more room for text.
It could be a mistake.
