Erasure with Signs Seen by Earlier Editors

Signs or spaces deliberately erased in antiquity seen by earlier editors but no longer visible on the support.

Syntax

Any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within PreviousSeen enclosed between double square brackets [[…]].

Overview

• 𝑆 = any sign (Unicode character) ∉ STOP_SET (cf. Technical Catalogue of Symbols) otherwise preceded by the escape character \.
• 𝑁 = number of characters (represented by char or digits).
• ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within PreviousSeen (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).
• ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
• ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
• γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
