What is the codepoint / sequence of codepoints to generate this symbol?

Thanks for writing back.

This is the version I would use as a compulsion, for lack of an option to
type the symbol on say my mobile keyboard.

This is the pdf whose OCR output I am currently verifying on wikisource :)
Please see Page 16 of the PDF. Line 13 uses U+A8F3, and Line 15 uses the
symbol I asked about.
Where did you find the encoding as तपार्थसि in the document? I believe that
would be incorrect, whereas (1) and (3) are still closer approximations to
the pronunciation.

Yes, it has been used, but if you see the example of (2), both the symbols
have been used in the same page, it's quite likely they are different from
each other.

I've tried to look for a manuscript, but wasn't able to.
However in response to the question, I have been seeing this text in hymns
since the past 30 years (not a long time I agree considering the age of the
text :) ) and have been asked to pronounce them differently by my elders.

Will look for a manuscript again.
However I did find an explanation of vedic Pronunciation at
http://www.aryagan.org/pdf/literature/ved/Ved-Path-Niyam.pdf

Please see item 3 and 4

Item 3 is the symbol in question, called, in that document, अयोगवाह ह्रस्व
(ह्रस्व = short)
Item 4 is the ꣳ (U+A8F3), called, in that document, अयोगवाह दीर्घ (दीर्घ =
long)

I could translate the Ved-Path-Niyam document to English if it helps, also
attaching it.

Hope this bring me closer to an answer to the original query

Thanks again for your response,
आलोक
