This interpretation makes the most sense in terms of my example.
However, now that we know what these symbols are, the remaining part of
my question is how are they encoded in Unicode?
Rick suggested offline that any of the characters from the 2300 block be
used, something I find about as satisfactory as using # for musical
sharp - except in the sense that the code would effectively be a
shorthand for a more complicated drawing operation, i.e. not be rendered
via a font, but the layout system would draw two lines of the
appropriate dimentions at right angles. There are some instances in
mathematical layout where the character code really acts as a meta
command for decorating expressions. Perhaps this is such a case.
Werner helpfully sent me to a font listing, but the symbols are not
found there.
Thanks to any and all that replied.
