Why does this character seem to be unified with other characters have a
similar glyph ?

1) abzüglich (German), med avdrag av (Swedish), piska (Swedish, « whip »)

  (what is the meaning of med avdrag av and piska ?)

2) may also be used as a dingbat to indicate correctness

3) used in Finno-Ugric Phonetic Alphabet to indicate a related borrowed
form with different sound
