Yes. I found a number of sources, and they show a lot of variation. If there is a proposal here, then the origin of the symbols should be indicated more precisely than just calling them "from landsmålsalfabetet". This s-j overstrike does not occur in the sources I have seen so far. Furthermore, as far as I can see, landsmålsalfabetet is a phonetic alfabet designed to reproduce Swedish dialect sounds, and hence has a large repertoire of phonetic signs. The fragment of text I showed was not from dialectology, but just from a novel written in Elfdalian. The symbols are meant to be those of ordinary orthography. Andries
