But it isn't GESCHUETZTE SORTE in its specific meaning. Neither is
U+24C8. The difference is the same as the difference between
U+0052 U+20DD or U+24C7 from U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN. GESCHUETZTE SORTE
belongs to a class of special characters with a legal meaning (like
COPYRIGHT SIGN and SOUND RECORDING COPYRIGHT SIGN, two name two others of
this class).

Indeed -- but this is another theme. There are about a dozen common
gardening symbols used in german publications for decades now and they are
worth a proposal.
