Some suggestions for the "pixel-mirrored" versions of:
- "G" : use a capital open O (U+0186) and short horizontal stroke overlay (U+0335)
- "g" : use a subscript 9 digit (U+2089)
- "h" : use a greek lambda "λ" (U+03BB)
- "K" : use a ">" and, either a combining vertical bar overlay (not encoded? see below), or two combining vertical
ticks above and below (U+02C8 U+02CC)
- "k" : same thing using a single guillemot right "›" (U+203A) instead of ">"
- "L" : use a box-drawing character (U+2518), or very low tone letter modifier (U+02E9)
- "P" : use a paragraph sign "¶" (U+00B6)
- "t" : use a lower half of integral (U+2321), and a combining short bar (U+0335)
I think it's strange that the vertical bar overlay (and the double vertical bar overlay) is not encoded at all as a
diacritic, when there are two horizontal stroke overlays and two oblique stroke overlays. I think it has
applications at least in mathematics symbols, and in some locally customized currency units. May be I have missed
it?
