Medieval Unicode Font Initiative A proposal for subranges within the Private Use Area of Unicode: Supplements to the Latin alphabet for Medieval texts   Subrange 3. Small capitals: E200 - E2FF Small capitals have the same form as majuscules (capital letters), but are usually drawn with the same height as a minuscule (small) letter such as "x". In Medieval Nordic manuscripts, small capitals were used to denote geminates, i.e. long consonants, or they were used ornamentally. The letters "B", "D", "G", "M", "N", "R", "S" and "T" were most frequently used as geminates, while these and other letters might also be used as ornaments in the whole or in parts of highlighted words. Some of the small capitals, e.g. "O" and "C", are difficult to distinguish from minuscule letters. Unicode 3.2 has defined nine small capitals in the IPA Extensions range, sc. "B", "G", "H", "I", "L", "N", "Œ", "R" and "Y". For the remaining small capitals one has to resort to the Private Use Area.
