  This unique symbol appears in the text several times, but it seems to me that given this number of appearances, it can't be called "unique".
     
     
     
  
  
  There were also his appearances in botany, but I couldn't find them. Most often, there is no additional loop (as in the first two screenshots). 
  Outwardly, it looks vaguely like an f with a second leg, but I think that's not the case, because we already have an f with a second leg:
     
  
  What do you think?

  I'd call them unique. To me all three examples you have shown look substantially different from one another. The third one topologically is the same as normal f with an additional bend. Top two look like f with double legs, the top one with an extra loop.

  I made an overview of such cases in this thread You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
  
  The ones you picked out are all scribe 1. Like oshfkd says, they are all different. Whether they are meant as the same kind of thing or variations of common gallows is unclear, though I prefer the latter.
