An important 19th century dictionary of Polish uses two kinds of
section sign, illustrated in the attachment, there is over 5000
occurrences of the characters. Dirty OCR interpreted both of them as
the letter g, so you can see most of them visiting
Janusz,
Sounds like you need a new character. Recently I wrote a proposal to encode TOP
HALF SECTION SIGN. See http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3740.pdf
If you want to contact me off-line we can put a proposal together quickly
enough, I think.

Hi, Janusz,
it would be valueable information whether the reversed section sign
encodes any other semantic than the normal one.
It would help looking at the key of the dictionary which explains
symbols and their usage, as it might well be, that the typesetter ran
out of normal section signs
Please see Janusz' answers. (He pressed reply instead of reply

Nevertheless, our typesetter had those types for some reason. Or do
you think that – given its different style – it was only a glyph
variant of some other font?

I have indicated already in my first mail that having those characters
in his typecase might mean something. However I'd be wary to encode a
character based on a single usage which does not even make a
distinction to the ordinary section sign.
Nonetheless, it seems quite probable that other

That's what André suggested and it might be true.

Exploring the dictionary with the search engine (which is operational
since today morning ...) I discovered two occurences of an unexplained
abbreviation which refers to a language in which silvir means
silver and ses means six. The name of the language is
abbreviated as Kimr.
Any ideas
