That symbol represents the furtive pataḥ or פתח גנוב - it says so right in the linked document: "The only exception is the pataḥ furtivum as in רוח"
There is no Unicode symbol for it, because it's typically (at least in Modern Hebrew) written identically to the normal pataḥ. However, there are those who think it should be printed further to the right: ("Hebrew vowels: Furtive Patach") and so that option has been made available in the cjhebrew package.
