Quote:Let's think about the benches. They are comfortable preceding the glyph [c], but other symbols are not. This makes sense if you think, as I do, that all glyphs that share this shape are the symbol of the Moon
It would also make sense if the benches were just ligatures to better parse (or distinguish/disambiguate) the concatenation of three individual eee acting as a single glyph, from the concatenation of a merged ee + a third, unrelated e.
Such a feature would come in handy, for example, when parsing/decoding codewords "21oe4" and "3oe4" that, written using roman numerals, would both be mapped to something like "IIIoeIV".
