饹备

U+1BC78 "饹备" Duployan Affix Attached Tangent is a specific mark within the Duployan shorthand script block, used primarily as a phonetic affix that attaches directly to the side or curve of a base letter to indicate a particular sound modification or grammatical function. This affix represents a tangent stroke that connects seamlessly with the preceding character, altering its vocalic or consonantal value according to the rules of the Duployan system, which was developed in the late 19th century for rapid writing of various languages including English, French, and indigenous languages of North America. Its design consists of a small, angular line that adheres to the contour of the main letter, ensuring smooth cursive flow without interrupting the stroke sequence. As part of the Duployan orthography, this character helps maintain the shorthand's efficiency by encoding complex phonetic nuances in a compact, visually continuous manner.
