     Thank you to those who reponded to mine of 23rd March on this.
     
     Quite reasonably, there was convergence on the codepoint: the
     subfield marker or subfield delimiter is to be at U+001F.
     
     There was silence on the topic of the glyph / displayed character in
     printed MARC records. We want to get away from using the dollar
     currency symbol for this. What are other MARC record people using /
     going to use ? ?
     
     A further thought is that it will need to be something that our
     Cataloguers can easily input via the keyboard when they are editing a
     record.
