duployan affix low vertical

Duployan Low Vertical Affix

𛲘 is a Duployan shorthand affix mark; in Helen Pernin’s system, it stands for the ending “-ine.” Duployan began as shorthand for French in 1860 and later gained adaptations for other languages.

What 𛲘 means

An affix is a word-part attached before or after a word. Émile Duployé published his French shorthand in 1860 to write speech quickly; by 1882, Helen Pernin’s English adaptation documents this mark. Father Le Jeune later adapted Duployan as Chinuk Pipa for Chinook Jargon, a regional trade language, and other Indigenous languages in interior British Columbia. The Kamloops Wawa newsletter ran from 1891 to 1923. Chinuk Pipa used no affix signs, so Pernin’s reading does not carry across every Duployan version.

Why does 𛲘 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
