An interesting Omega-shaped flourished macron for the letter "n" (Visconti Hours):
(A dot was sometimes also used as an abbreviation symbol, but in this case, the dot is the end of the phrase (the previous phrase is delimited with a dot which, in medieval script, was sometimes a period, sometimes used the way we use a comma, and sometimes an abbreviation symbol), so the abbreviation for the missing "n" is indicated by the flourished line rather than by the dot.)
