You're still approaching this with the background knowledge of what this is. If you've never seen this, you can only guess, and there are a couple of options.
I've been terminally online for the better part of the last 2 decades, yet I've seen this way of writing for the first time only ~5 year ago or so, and I still remember simply not knowing what it is. The first reaction is that it's simply a typo - the author mistyped - the dot should have been a digit or perhaps not be there at all.
