Omitted White Spaces

White spaces added by the editor which the inscriber of the text has either omitted or for which he has by error inscribed other signs. Omitted is in fact the only phenomenon that can contain isolated significant white spaces, which are ignored in other cases.

Syntax

Any white space character enclosed between angle brackets <…>.

Overview

• 𝑊 = any white space.
• 𝑛 ∈ ℕ (natural numbers).
• ‽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).
