I often wonder if this is a separate character OR if it reveals what was in the scribe's mind when it was written and is perhaps a mistake (a blunder):
The character on the right is not in the Basic EVA set, which means it is not in any of the transcripts created with Basic EVA.
It is, nevertheless, more frequent than people might expect (occurs more often than the VMS "rare" characters).
In Latin-character languages, this would be interpreted as the "cl" ligature (which is quite common). What it means in Voynichese, I don't know.
It is, of course, not possible to do statistical comparisons between the 8 shape and the cl shape by using transcripts that don't record the distinction.
