Reading this, as it's just a stylized lowercase 's' - it seems to me like it would have been more appropriate as a font ligature than a dedicated codepoint?

  In many cases, glyphs have distinct codepoints because they had one in some legacy encoding, and Unicode was intended to be able to roundtrip any text in those encodings. Then again, sometimes a glyph variant that has literally one known occurrence ever gets a codepoint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiocular_O https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiocular_O

    Why on earth did that get a codepoint… Someone in the 1400's made a single crazy looking O and now it's forever embedded in unicode?!

      The most obvious explanation is that it is simply the mark of Tzeentch on one of its creations. ~
