Uhhh...close, but not quite. I thought this at first as well, but notice the direction that the second stroke curves:

8 = ӻ
ha = ƒn
ba = ƒo
pa = ƒp

This is why I initially ruled out the idea that it was a Katakana character (and if it is, it reminds me more of "pa" then "ba"..."pa" has a little circle, like a degrees symbol, whereas "ba" has double lines like a quotation mark).

Anyway, it is that little dot on the glyph that made me say "the Japanese character for 8 (though something doesn't entirely look right for that..." in my previous post on the subject. Hrm...perhaps it isn't Japanese at all?
