A brief family mystery solved today

So my brother is transcribing our great great grandpa’s journals and digitizing them

And while I was at PT he started a chat about this

Anyway I learned a new word today and feel very cool about it

oh neat!

lol! yeah shorthand is confusing

...this gives me some weirdly specific little details I can use for flavor text in RP so that's cool

"this relates to both typography and codicology"

me, who plays a character thematically & literally tied to codicies: damn there be some specific-ass symbols in this world

:3

Yeah you can get lost in rabbit holes like that if you aren’t careful

“Most used are the editorial coronis, the paragraphos, the forked paragraphos, the reversed forked paragraphos, the hypodiastole, the downwards ancora, the upwards ancora, and the dotted right-pointing angle, which is also known as the diple periestigmene.”

Oh yeah I use the downwards ancora all the time

Dagger (mark) - Wikipedia always thought this was called a cross!
