  • 𝘏 = identifier sign of the hand (if specified in the optional annotations/metadata ¤ᵟ).
  • UNCLEAR_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within Unclear (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).
  • ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
  • γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
  • ◇ᵟ ∈ {, , ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
  • ¤ᵟ = optional annotations (metadata) supported by Addition (cf. Later Ancient Additions of Signs).

See Later Ancient Additions of Signs for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.
