Re: IBM 1620 invalid character symbol

But what is interesting is the use of negative digits (-1 to -9, with the
minus sign above the digit; I've not seen a case of minus 0, not needed
apparently by the described operations)
How do you encode these negative decimal digits in Unicode ? with a macron
diacritic ?
