I see¡ª this makes sense. It had occurred to me that it might stand for
technetium, but, as you state above, U+939D is listed on my chart.

I'd be glad to. I didn't find any reference to it on the Unicode page,
so I wasn't actually aware of its existence. Could you please give me
information about how to subscribe?
