Medieval Unicode Font Initiative A proposal for supplementary characters in Unicode: Medieval Nordic   Subrange 9: Precomposed abbreviational characters This range includes a number of precomposed abbreviated characters, typically an ordinary base line character with a bar across. These characters may also be described in a composite way, using the combining character "bar" introduced in subrange 8. However, for pragmatic reasons this range includes some of the most frequent combinations. This list can become very long, as amply demonstrated in Adriano Cappelli, Dizionario di Abbreviature latine ed italiane (6th ed., Milano: Ulrico Hoepli, 1979). It is therefore strongly recommended that it is kept down to the most frequent combinations, and that abbreviations as a rule are described as a sequence of base line character + combining character, using the inventory in subrange 8. This character may occur in the primary sources, but has not been positively attested.   Glyph Entity Unicode Descriptive name &hstalllig; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER H LIGATED WITH TALL S &pbardes; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH BAR THROUGH DESCENDER (ABBREVIATION SIGN "PER") &Pbardes; 0000 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P WITH BAR THROUGH DESCENDER (ABBREVIATION SIGN "PER") &pflour; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH FLOURISH (ABBREVIATION SIGN "PRO") &Pflour; 0000 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P WITH FLOURISH (ABBREVIATION SIGN "PRO") &kbarasc; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER K WITH BAR THROUGH ASCENDER (ABBREVIATION SIGN "KALENDAS") &kstalllig; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER K LIGATED WITH TALL S &qbardes; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER Q WITH BAR THROUGH DESCENDER (ABBREVIATION SIGN "QUAM") &sbaracr; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH BAR ACROSS (ABBREVIATION SIGN "SCILICET") ONLY OLD ENGLISH? &thbarasc; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN WITH BAR THROUGH ASCENDER (ABBREVIATION SIGN "THAET") &thbardes; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN WITH BAR THROUGH DESCENDER &thstalllig; 0000 LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN LIGATED WITH TALL S Version 2.0, 5 February 2003 OEH
