Problems with question (query) marks

Most question marks are distinctive and unambiguous. We have met some, however, that are not. Some resemble the 'punctus elevatus' (&punctel;) character (though such question marks do not seem to appear in the same books that use a true punctus elevatus). And some resemble the 'left punctus elevatus' character, though again these do not seem to appear in the same books that use the &lpunctel;. Also, the &lpunctel; is an 'opening' punctuation mark--it appears at the beginning of a span of text, like opening quotation marks, but the question mark is definitely a piece of 'closing' punctuation. For the time being, we will treat these variant forms of question mark as 'alloglyphs' of "?" and capture them as "?".

Example	Capture	Comment	Context
	[capture as ordinary ?]	One form of true question mark, similar to &punctel;
	[capture as ordinary ?]	An unusual form of question mark, similar to &lpunctel;

Some symbols transferred from internal (reviewers') stock of symbols, 5/04

Symbol	Meaning	Entity	Example(s)*
	Conjunction = 0° (astrology/astron.)	&conjunction;
Note: sometimes the symbol for Mars is used for "conjunction," presumably because the printer lacks the specific conjunction sign.
	Opposition = 180° (astrology/astron.)	&opposition;
	Trine = 120° (astrology/astron. context only; cp. Greek delta, etc.)	&trine;
This is an alternative version of trine that may be recorded as &trine2;
	Quadrine = 90° (astrology/aston. context only; may by default be captured as it appears, as □)	&quadrine
	Sextile = 60° (astrology/astron. context only; cp. Greek asterisk (*), sal amoniac symbol, etc.)	&sextile;
	Moon, full, new, or quartered (calendrical context): filled-in circle usually new moon, open circle full moon but sometimes reversed. Left-half filled should be first quarter; right-half filled should be third quarter.	&Moonround;
	North (or ascending) node, in astrol. context. AKA "dragon's head."	&northnode;
	South (or descending) node, in astrol. context. AKA "dragon's tail."	&southnode;
Lacking a north/south node sign, printers will often substitute the sign fo Leo (upright or inverted as necessary). As with other typographical errors, if the book uses the wrong symbol, capture the symbol that is actually there. In this book the north and south node symbols (here with Leo standing in) are reversed.
	meaning: proportion, proportional to (other examples with different meanings should probably use simple double colon (::) or if necessary a different entity)	&proportion;
	meaning: 'difference' or '200' (entity is for for this shape of glyph, regardless of meaning)	&lazyS;
	Musical sharp (modern form)	♯ (use this ISO sharp entity only for #-shaped sharp = U+266F)
	Modern musical natural sign (in our texts often a form of sharp applied to b; use for b/q-shaped sign regardless of whether it means sharp or natural; ISO entity; U+266E)	♮
	Musical sharp (specifically applied to b; a version of the natural sign; Use for p/d-shaped sign regardless of whether it equates to a sharp or a natural)	&sharpb;
	Musical sharp (x-shaped form); possibly ancestor of modern double sharp (U+1D12A); used for x- or crossed-x-shaped sign regardless of whether it has modern meaning (double sharp?) or older meaning (sharp); late forms may resemble modern sharp sign: if x form has horizontal strokes, use ISO entity ♯. If sign resembles a simple capital X, use X (may need to add &sharpx; entity).	&sharp2;
	Musical flat (ISO entity; U+266D)	♭
	degrees-minutes-seconds (of arc)	° ′ ″
	hours-minutes-seconds (of to,e)	^h ′ ″
	fleur-de-lys	&fleudelys;
	air (as one of the four elements)	&air;
	section sign (U+00A7)	§
	reversed section sign	&rsect;
	Forms of the abbreviation sign for -is or -es.	&abis;
