  • ⊙ ∈ 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).

See Signs Erased in Antiquity and Rasurae for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.
