The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

ݨ, (Arabic letter noon with small tah (U+0768), ṇūṇ), is an additional letter of the Arabic script, not used in the Arabic alphabet itself but used in Saraiki, Shina and Shahmukhi Punjabi to represent a retroflex nasal consonant, [ɳ].

ڼ is the twenty-ninth letter of Pashto alphabet. It represents the retroflex nasal letter (IPA: [ɳ]) or Ṇ in Latin Alphabets, which is ण in Devanagari and ਣ in Gurmukhi. In Sindhi, ڻ is used.

The Unicode for Saraiki letter ݨ was approved in 2005. Saraiki (and rarely in Shahmukhi Punjabi) uses the letter ⟨ݨ⟩ for /ɳ/. Previously, ڑن was used to represent a voiced retroflex nasal.

It is a compound of nūn and ṛe ⟨ڑ⟩, for example:

کݨ مݨ، چھݨ چھݨ، ونڄݨ۔
