Rare punctuation & typesetting Anonymous 10/11/15 (Sun) 16:58:48 No.417 [Reply]

Discuss archaic, rare and old punctuation, typesetting conventions, ligatures and the like.

The 'fleuron' or 'hedera' was a punctuation mark equivalent to a break between paragraphs, much like the pilcrow. ❦ It represents an ivy leaf, in most designs, hence the name 'hedera', or 'ivy' in Latin.
