U+1BCA1 "𛲡" Shorthand Format Continuing Overlap Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𛲡

U+1BCA1 "𛲡" Shorthand Format Continuing Overlap is a highly specialized formatting and control character, part of the Shorthand Format Controls block, designed for use in digital representations of Duployan and other shorthand systems. Its specific purpose is to mark a continuation of overlapping marks or characters from a preceding segment, indicating that a subsequent glyph should be rendered in an overlapping or concatenated manner rather than in a standard linear sequence. This allows shorthand writers and digital text encoders to accurately reproduce the compact, non-linear structure of shorthand scripts where characters can share space or be superimposed, ensuring that the complex layout is preserved in plain text environments without altering the inherent meaning of the shorthand notation.
