The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Yerach ben yomo (Hebrew: יֶרַח בֶּן יוֹמוֹ, with variant English spellings, also known as Galgal), is a cantillation mark that appears only one time in the entire Torah (Numbers 35:5), and once in the Book of Esther. In these occurrences, it is followed immediately by a Karne parah, another mark that is found only once in the entire Torah. The symbol for this trope is an upside-down Etnachta.

The Hebrew words יֵרֶח בֶּן יוֹמוֹ translate into English as day-old moon. Its alternate name גלגל translates into English as wheel.
