Does anyone know what symbol this symbol is supposed to be below? I've been trying to find out and there is little to no information online.

𒀱

From what I can find, it seems to be a stylized rendering of the deity name Nisaba, Sumerian goddess of writing, scribes and grain agriculture. Nisaba is usually written 𒀭𒊺𒉀 or 𒀭𒉀. You can see if you look closely that this sign, 𒀱 (the top and bottom get cut off on tumblr, unfortunately!) contains the signs 𒀭𒉀 four times each in a criss-cross formation, with a stylized asterism at the center. I hope that helps!
