What 𛲄 means
Its value depends on the system and its position.
An affix is a word part added before or after a base. A numeral gives it a French number role.
Duployé published his French shorthand in 1860, building on Conen de Prépéan's method as revised by Aimé Paris. He and his brother simplified it to support literacy; Romanian later adapted it.
