I was talking a few days ago with the lady who provided you, Peter, with
information about this one a few years ago. She now agrees that this
heng form was used only as a glyph variant of the proposed LATIN SMALL
LETTER H WITH DESCENDER, provisional U+2C66. See the proposal for this
character,

which gives evidence of its use in Tat.
