duployan affix mid horizontal secant

Duployan inter-prefix sign

𛱱 marks inter-, the word-starting part meaning “between,” in Pernin Reporters, a Duployan shorthand adaptation. Duployé published French shorthand in 1860, promoting it through schools for literacy; by the late 19th century it also served commercial users. Priest Jean-Marie-Raphaël Le Jeune adapted Duployan for Chinook Jargon and several First Nations languages in British Columbia; the Kamloops Wawa newsletter ran from 1891 to 1923.
