Philippe,
Just look at musical notations where a upper horizontal parenthesis
is used to group some elements (sorry I don't know how you name

The carrier for a combining mark that is to display in isolation

Hi!
Some time ago there was discussion about whether there are scripts using colour
as a distinctive feature or not. I just came across the following pages:
