Dear Harry,

     In all likelihood, this is a sign for the letter ॐ.

Dear list members,
I've attached a pdf of folio 6a of śrīvidyānityapaddhatiḥ by Sahib Kaul. On In that folio there are multiple occurrences of what looks to me like the numeral four with a dot over top.
Can anyone tell me what these are, some kind of repetition symbol?

The entire manuscript can be downloaded from archive.org at:
