In Response To: Re: 6th glyph and Japanese character (Interactive Civilian)

Howdy,

On my machine, it depends on the font - some katatana "ha/ba/pa" has the strokes bellied out, some bellied in. If I was pressed to guess, I would also say it is "pa".

Best,

Dave

: Uhhh...close, but not quite. I thought this at first as well, but notice the
: direction that the second stroke curves: 8 = ӻ
: ha = ƒn
: ba = ƒo
: pa = ƒp

: This is why I initially ruled out the idea that it was a Katakana character
: (and if it is, it reminds me more of "pa" then
: "ba"..."pa" has a little circle, like a degrees
: symbol, whereas "ba" has double lines like a quotation mark).

: Anyway, it is that little dot on the glyph that made me say "the
: Japanese character for 8 (though something doesn't entirely look right for
: that..." in my previous post on the subject. Hrm...perhaps it isn't
: Japanese at all?
